The DR650 has a cult following with adventure bike riders. They are old style bullet proof bikes like the old XR's you mentioned. The DR400E would be a better choice than the DR400S. All the features you mention will kill the S's resale value.
Check out Vince Strang's web site and you will see some of the mods he does to the 650 from new in his dealership in Inverell.
They are good bikes for what you need.
The XR650 does not have electric start. Trust me, in the old days only wimps used electric start, these days I wouldn't touch a bike without it.
If you have the budget, go new.
