I sold my Ducati for the V100 Mandello and do not regret it one bit. I also thought it would be the end of the Norge also.
But not so! I rode the Norge today for the first time since getting the Mandello and it was lovely thing to ride. I had forgotten how comfortable it is, how glorious the 8V sounds. I wafted along the bypass and thought ‘’ this isn’t going anywhere’'.
So I shall keep it for now and ponder. The Mandello will be for UK based trips, but those longer trips abroad may well be more comfy on the Norge.

Similar thing - I sold my V85TT and bought an Aprilia Tuono 1100 V4 just for fun rides, but kept my Norge for the serious stuff and the big miles.
