That's pretty much how I see it and I'm glad we work at a company with choices. I tried long haul and it wasn't for me so I bid off, while others absolutely love it. I flew with a guy recently who switched from the 320 to the 737 because he wanted day trips and there were more on the 737 within his seniority. My first 2 avoid statements are avoid duty 2300-0600 and avoid more than 2 legs per day. Since that's what's important to me, the 737 provides more options, warts and all.
