I own a Street, and have ridden an America. I'd take the Street everyday, but then again, that's the riding style I like at the moment. You're hard pressed to find a better all round bike that will put the same sized smile on your dial when riding the Striple though.

Than again, I may be slightly biased.

Not ridden the America, but then again, it's really not my style. I had a Street Triple and loved it. Awesome bit of kit (and plan to replace it with another in due course). I can def recommend one. Best way though is to just test ride both and see which you prefer.

Love my Bonnie

I am a little biased, but dont forget the Bonnie.
Great bike.
I love mine to bits
A couple of the guys in the TOMCC have one & they agree.

Your lucky your open to trying different bikes, I think you would be happy with almost any bike you take home, but will probably change often-ish...just because you can.
