I got a steamroller this year and tried a flyer a few years back. Only had 1 hour on the flyer (test ride from Harry Halls). I think quality wise there's not much in it, both far eastern frames, not much difference in weight. I have a 54cm genesis day one and 53cm steamroller, both good to ride.
I like the ethos of both companies, like you say, it's all about personal preference. Can highly recommend a steamroller, use mine every day for my commute.
If you can get to test ride one go for it.
