Jeff, before we purchased the RSV I was convinced I wanted one. I took one for about a 20 minute test ride and that was all I needed to know that neither me nor the wife were comfortable it. I wasn't very impressed and the salesman had to keep reminding me I couldn't compare it to a two wheeler. I think I would have been fine with a trike like yours but if someone thinks it's safer simply because it has three wheels vs two I will disagree. No matter what we are riding we need training and must take a safe approach. I have a friend that has one and loves it, just not my experience.
