Next Step: Breaststroke or Butterfly?

I've been swimming regularly for fun and fitness for 2-3 years now and have become reasonably proficient in freestyle and backstroke. I swim on my own--no coach or masters group. I'd like to learn the other two strokes. Which of the two should I tackle next? My guess is that breastsroke would be easier to learn and easier on the shoulders but I'm game for either one. Thanks for any suggestions.

    Thanks to everyone for the advice. I'll take a shot at both. One of the things I really like about swimming is that there is always something technical to work on and try to improve. I guess some people might find this discouraging, but to me the possibility that you can do something a little better keeps it interesting.
