Help me decide: Downtown 1BR vs Suburban 2BR - talk me into a choice!

I'm torn between renting a 1BR downtown for $2200 or a 2BR in the suburbs for $1800. Downtown has better access to nightlife and work, but I crave more space and a quieter neighborhood. I need to weigh the value of space against urban convenience—what should I do?
