Honda PCX 160 vs Honda nc700

I am wondering what I should get for my first bike. I will be taking the MSF course in about 2 weeks. I’ve road on a Kawasaki z125 and Honda rebel to prepare for the MSF course. I am wanting something a little larger to ride 2 up with my girlfriend. The main reason why I am wanting a bike is to save on gas as I ride to work. I chose these two due to storage size and MPG. I won’t be ridding on the interstate much, but it would be nice to be able to if I wanted to. My main concern with the NC700 is just the weight, it’s roughly 475 pounds and didn’t know if this is too heavy to start with. Which of these two do you all think is better, and what do those who have ridden them think about the bikes?

NOTE: I am 6 foot, 180 pounds. I live in America
