Radiographer with TWO full time day position offers and stressed out about which one to take...

First off, what a great thing to be stressed about. I got the first offer Monday and they let me put off making a decision until the end of the work day tomorrow. I just got the second offer today for another hospital system and I told them I would decide by tomorrow.

About me, I am a 29 year old male. I graduated the radiographer program June 2015, a little over a year ago. I luckily got a part-time day position at a large hospital. Despite being part-time status, I've practically been working full-time hours because I'm a bit money hungry. My main complaint about the position is that I have to work every other weekend. I've always had Mon-Fri jobs my whole life so this has been a bit bothersome yet expected when going into this field. I get along great with all my coworker and I've become good friends with several of them. I always have an outstanding reputation in the OR and am favored by several of the surgeons. Finally a full-time has opened up and I was the shoo in. Sure enough I got the offer.

BUT at the same time I was applying to another (larger) hopsital system that had a full-time days, Mon-Fri, no weekends, no holidays, and all C-Arm (my favorite). It's a pain clinic that does pain injections. So this is practically a dream gig for me, right?!

So do I take the dream schedule for a job that has potential to become monotonous (pain injections with C-Arm)? Or do I stay at the job that I am for the most part happy with except for giving up every other weekend of my life?

I feel if I stay I'll regret letting that schedule slip away. Then again, if I leave to the new place and not like it, I'll regret having left.

Like I said, I have to decide tonight.

EDIT: Both pay the exact same.

EDIT 2: I accepted the full-time gig at the hospital. Thank you everyone for your input!!
