i have a graceful. i love the artsy but the graceful was better on my wallet so i went with that. i have also heard the artsy can be heavy and the strap can be uncomfortable.

Artsy! Simple design and lovely microfiber interior that cannot beat in other details. But good luck on deciding. 
I have the Graceful so I'm going to be a little biased. I would choose Graceful over Artsy because it's a lighter bag, more affordable (if your budget conscious), and still uncommon to see. I would love to own an Artsy one day myself but the Graceful will be my choice as of now.
Def try both with your stuff in them at boutique, and figure out how you'll wear the bag most (in crook of arm or on shoulder). Artsy is my vote just because it's one of the most beautiful "hobo type" bags imo. GL deciding!
I wanted the Artsy from the beginning but always talked myself out of it. After buying 4 other bags I finally bought it. If you love it, buy it. It is beautiful!
I'm inclined to say Artsy it's an LV ole goodie But since you think your Longchamp is heavy. You will hate the artsy if you carry it for any length of time.
SO I have had the Artsy Two as a matter a fact. The Artsy is a beautiful bag actually I like to call it a Sexy Bag but it is not practical at all - clearly just for looks. And if you are calling the longchamp heavy then you should think twice about the Artsy. And the Graceful I admit just sitting there looking at it - its okay but this bag needs stuff inside to see the full beauty. Here is my take below on both bags and yes I own the Graceful.
Artsy
Pros - Beautiful and well made
Cons - Heavy, not a shoulder bag and uncomfortable not a daily bag.
Graceful
Pros - Beautiful, light, easily thrown on shoulder, comfortable (long wear) and very practical for every day use
Cons - front tab concern and corners of bag down the line
To me the Graceful is a mixture of the Artsy and Delightful in one bag. If you have other bags to rotate then yeah maybe an Artsy is good to have but if this is going to be an every day bag I'd say not. I let my Artsy go because for me the bag was just not practical and was not being used enough to keep.
So Sexy not Practical Artsy all the way! Practical yet beautiful Graceful!
