a new planner

Y'all were so helpful with suggestions about my new bag, I had to do the same thing for my new planner!! I love back to school time- the start of fall, the feel of a fresh start...even though I haven't been in school for a long time.  I like to buy my planners in August instead of January for some reason.  

This is the one I've had since last August:

I loved all the space it had and the size of it. But I didn't love the 3 ring part. It was hard to write on Tuesday because of it.....and I think I'm going to keep having that issue. 

Here are a few I'm debating:

The MyAgenda in gold or leopard 

Mint & Gold Confetti Planner (here):

This (Gold 1014 Planner from Paper Source) one seems very similar to the MyAgenda, but a bit less expensive and doesn't start until January:

Obviously I've heard of Emily Ley's Simplified Planner & Whitney English's Day Designer. But they both have the ring binder that I don't think I like.  Does anyone have one and recommend it?? Or any other favorite ones that I'm missing?!
