 So do I!  But when it comes time to pray the Amida, I would be disappointed
 if you substituted
 Sim Shalom for Shalom Rav

For information only...What does the Halacha say...Although this is not 
really a Halachic question, more along the order of the service. 
Sim Shalom is part of the Amida and Shalom Rav is not said in the morning. 
I'd suggest that everyone should have copies of various sidurim to use as 
reference. Even if you don't use them for your own "davening" they are a 
valuable reference. It will give an idea as to the differing prayers for 
different services and help as a source of creativity by suggesting different 
songs for different times. For example Modeh Ani (slow or fast versions) is a 
great morning service opener but not right for the afternoon or evening. 
Artscroll is a nice sidur because it's got lots of explanations and a great 
English translation.
