You are a couple of inches taller than me and 10 lbs heavier than me, I use my Downtown for the same description you are giving us, everyday in town riding and weekend trips outside the city. The DT can do it all without hesitation, as far as I know the DT is more fuel efficient and costs less than the Xciting, two very good reasons for choosing the DT. But I would recommend you to go and look at them, feel them, sit on them for a while, go for a test ride if you can and then make up your mind.
As a Downtown owner for almost a year (11,000km on the odometer) I can tell you that I enjoy riding it and feel safe, there are certain areas that could be better/improved but I guess there isn't a perfect bike out there. Overall I am really happy with it and I am not considering changing it for the near future.
