Yup, I own three zipped boroughs, and one soft-thinking of getting another in the latter. It all depends on how much structure you want in these bags, and whether or not you can stand the zippers; for me, I didn't think I like the zippers, but I love how structured it make the boroughs look, plus extra organization it offers. But I also appreciated the more relaxed feel of the soft-again, it really hinges on your preference. However, I think the soft may be able to hold more, and it is probably also lighter because of the fewer compartments, and less hardware. Good luck choosing; there are so many gorgeous leathers to pick from!
