Please Help Me Decide / Ali Or Shoulder Bag?

Shoulder, I like being able to get into my bags fast, I don't like flaps of any kind. I have the Soho Black Flap and now my 14 yr old uses it, drives me nuts to have to pull the flap back, then sometimes my bag would fall over on the counter. .....All a matter of personal taste I guess.
 
Shoulder bag - have it in plum suede and whiskey. It's roomy without being huge, fits nicely on the shoulder and I love the look of the pockets. I'm not sure why, but the Ali has just never done it for me. I keep trying to fall in love with it, but I haven't been able to. I can't really pinpoint why though - I guess it's just personal taste!
 
I have the ali, but wish that I had gotten the shoulder bag...The flap annoys me, and it is a bit big for my needs. Both though are great bags. I still love my ali despite it all.
