If you want it and have the means, go for it. However, as stated earlier there are other options.
I believe the price reflects on the materials used on the pochette, such as the color coating process, alcantra lining, brass studs on the bag and strap. I believe the pochette strap alone with the studs is over $100.00. This is why the MC line is like double the price, in comparison to mono. Also, versus the mono speedy that does not have any lining.
I have one and I love it. It's worth it to me!
