One of my gripes about the iridescent caviar is that the jumbo has an exaggerated curvature at the bottom of the flap which makes the bag look even more bloated instead of rectangular and boxy the way I like it. However, the medium doesn't suffer from that...just compare your pictures with the jumbo pics from the 12A intel thread.
I do have a medium flap but it's one of the very few bags I've not used. The size is a bit limiting since jumbo is definitely more everyday. But I think a smaller wallet will do the trick.
I love love this red for the same reasons you've listed --red but very wearable!!

Thanks for the tip on what to look for, bluekit. You are right, the medium is boxier than the jumbo which appeals more to me, though I would be just as happy with a jumbo red! I am just waiting on my SA to check out other medium reds that she may get in the store week...I think it's an iridescent caviar, soft leather condition because my medium wrinkles (on the upper front of the flap) a bit when I lift up the flap. She said that is somewhat nature of the flaps, which I have known, but it appears that mine wrinkle a bit more than I would like. My jumbo caviar doesn't do it at all, my lamb mini does just a touch. If all of them are like this across the board, then I will keep this but if there are wrinkle free ones, then I will just swap out. Other than that, I cannot wait to carry this baby around!!! Thanks for listening and I hope you are rocking that awesome boy around town!
