Kate Spade Does anyone have both Cedar Street Small Hayden and Maise?

I'd love to know how these compare and which one you end up reaching for most?
I'm new to KS and looking to update my bag "wardrobe" as I haven't bought a new purse in a long time. Previously very loyal to MBMJ (with a few Coach thrown in) and most of my bags are on the soft, pebbled leather slouchy side.
I would likely be getting the Atoll Blue color.

I don't own either but have bought them for friends/family. Both bags are satchels (top handles and crossbody straps). Both are made from saffiano leather which is durable and structured. They leather is the major difference compared to MBMJ which primarily use pebbled leather but it's also good quality and resistant. It comes down to personal preference - which style/shape do you prefer? I'd suggest going in-store and testing them both out. KS staff are great and the customer service is superior to most other contemporary brands.

I have both and use the Maise much more. The opening for the small Hayden is very stiff and it's difficult getting things in and out of the bag. I also didn't like scratching my hands on the zipper when reaching inside my bag.

I have both as well but use the maise more often. This is partially due to me liking the color I have of the maise more. The Hayden is a little harder to get in and out of, but it can fit larger objects like a decent sized book or planner because of its shape.
