It's like choosing between having a family car or a sports car - it all depends on what you're looking for.
But the real problem with choosing a golf bag is that you can never be sure how to carry it. Should you put it on a cart, carry it on your back or pull it on wheels like a suitcase? It's like trying to decide what type of transportation to use to get to work every day.
