Would you turn down St Pauls boys school for Highgate?

My son has been lucky enough to be offered places at St Paul's 13+ and Highgate 11+ and City. We are in Hampstead so Highgate is definitely much closer for him. He is naturally bright but not super work hard clever and I know he will not put the same hours in as some of the other boys at St Pauls, He is also very sporty.
I was wondering do people turn St Pauls down for Highgate? Do they even turn it down for City?
kind regards

Some boys in North London do weekly boarding that could be an option?
Equally some travel from much farther away daily!
It’s about whether you think the school would better suit your child!

St Paul’s is very sporty!

Arewedone I think the fact it is sporty is drawing my son towards it more than Highgate (which also is sporty). Weekly boarding sounds interesting and definitely removes the extra time commuting up and down.
Mumfortheroad, yes 13 plus ...think by summer next year but we would like to have made the decision by October mid term.
