please help me decide between small phantom and micro:

1. which is heavier? assuming small phantom is heavier than micro, what about small phantom compared to nano? I find nano too heavy so i'm hoping small phantom would be lighter than nano at least.

2. which is easier to find in-store? i only have a quick stop in paris so wondering about the chances of scoring one of these.

3. ease of use - for those who have both, what are the pros and cons? do you find the contents spilling out of your phantom because of the open top?

4. looks - which looks more stylish...

5. and/or will have longer staying power? (e.g. be more of a classic).

6. cost - i believe small phantom costs more. anyone who has an idea on the price difference?

TIA!!!

I managed to go to Paris to check out the micro and the small phantom. For those interested, here goes:

1. Small phantom is definitely heavier than micro. It is as heavy as mini, in fact. I had the mistaken notion that small phantom is in between micro and mini. Definitely not! It is similar to mini in weight.

2. Small phantom is easier to find. I saw gorgeous colors at Victor Hugo in Paris (navy blue with orange lining, beige with blue lining). Micro has zero inventory in Paris.

3. Ease of use - Phantom too open for my liking. Even more open than my LV neverfull.

4. Looks - depends on the eyes of the beholder. I think phantom is more stylish but can look messy while micro is more neat.

5. Staying power - your guess as good as mine

6. Small Phantom was eur 1700 I think.

I sadly passed up on the small phantom. Way too big for me. Without content, it already felt heavy. I loved the color navy blue with orange piping. But just not practical for my lifestyle.

Hope this helps some of you!
