I love the leather and the structure on the Balenciaga (as a guy I prefer the Work and Weekender, for sizing reasons)... But I also love the Speedy! Now the Speedy is unstructured, but its not like the B Bag, where as soon it is empty the bag becomes a pile of leather with two handles sticking up.. I too suggest you to go to the boutique and try it out since the design of the City and Speedy are so different and even with the 'unstructured look' as mentioned above, both bags come at different levels of 'unstructure-ness'
Best of luck and I hope you make the right choice FOR YOU.

I prefer City tbh. I just got this baby and it's amazing. It doesn't slouch as much as the normal lamb-skinned one. You can actually make it stand tall when you put it down. Plus the material gives that extra oomph to the bag 
definitely doesn't look like a $20 bag.

That's such a pretty bag!
I would love a balenciaga city!!! I'm due for a new bag but sadly don't have enough money at the moment to get the city. I've thought about waiting and saving up but I'm really wanting a new purse now. I've decided on a speedy instead... But I definitely do not feel like I am settling as the speedy is gorgeous and classy as well!
If you don't the Balenciaga then sell it off...But I would try out the speedy first and then decided if you want to keep Balenciaga or sell it off for the speedy.
I have the Bal Part Time but it's too slouchy for me. Looking at an alternative at the moment - maybe the Mulberry Bayswater.
I have 5 Speedy's and wouldn't get the City if I had to do it all over again. To me, the Speedy stays classic forever whereas Bal seems to be a bit trendy.
