If you are only going to use the intercom with your wife or someone close to you then the range won't matter. As for talk time, your call on if the extra 4 hours of talk time is worth $100 bucks.
You can connect any Bluetooth enabled device in addition to the intercom (i.e. GPS). To share a Bluetooth enabled device between you and your passenger, or connect a non-Bluetooth enabled device you will need the SM-10 dual stream Bluetooth stereo transmitter. For external communications though it is limited to systems that use Honda Gold Wings and Harley Davidson accessory 5 or 7 pin DIN cables.
I use the SM-10 to connect to my Midland 75-822 portable CB. It can also be used to connect to most FRMS radios. But as far as I know it doesn't allow you to share those connections between you and your passenger.

Goatlocker is hitting the nail on the head then I would think according to your riding style (for now). You can't even buy the cables for the CB/Icomm package for this price. Go with the BT and get it happening now. It has taken me the better part of a month to get all the parts for the CB install on my Vision, now I need to find the time to break the bike down to install it... BT is quick and easy and I think it fits your "Back in the Saddle" style...
Safe riddin!!
