I am 100% team standard flap on a little Minerva - peeking corners in this smaller size look very playful and go well with the bag's "personality". On a midi and full size longer flap is great, as it gives the bag that cool "faux messenger" feel while obviously retaining the convenience of top opening.
Thanks for sharing your view as well. It's hard being on the fence about a bag you can't see irl.
