Loganz, your mousse paddy is great. I have been going back through old threads and I noticed that you have an anthracite (metallic) paddy too. I'm considering an anthracite purchase. Do you like the mousse more than your anthracite? Is the anthracite functional as an everyday bag?
You can trust me for the Honest opinion:
I bought the anthra because I am a sucker for silver hardware and NOT a gold gal. I have an amazing anthra paddy the leather is the best that I have seen - the bag is perfect in every way - however, I have used it twice.
For me, in Colorado, it is too flashy for my surroundings. I personally love it - but, it stands out too much in my environment.
I tried to sell it on Ebay but, I was not willing to sell it for less than retail considering it is brand new, perfect, and gorgeous.
After getting low-balled like you would not believe I just decided to keep it in its dustbag as a reminder of what instant gratification gets me.
To be honest, if you are comfortable with your bag getting a lot of attention then go for it - the 2 times I took this bag out people were gushing on it.
Oh, and if you still really want one I would still love to sell mine, since I could turn that sale into something that would not camp out in my closet. PM me if interested, we can talk.
