I love reissues! The 226 is the perfect size for me and it is light. The jumbo can kill my shoulders if I overload it or carry it for too long. Agree with Elizshop that the metallic silver or pink gold will be good year round. You sound like you have some doubts about the patent jumbo.
I've seen both the silver and pink gold metallic reissues and both are really stunning. My last bag purchase was a reissue and I was choosing among all the metallics but ultimately went for the beige patent. The pink gold is gorgeous-I really love it. I just wasn't so sure about the leather. I think my SA told me they are metallic lamb. I'm not afraid of lamb per se but I didn't know how this treatment may hold up in the long run, and whether it would scratch easily. I remember reading on here someone said her SA told her it is going to be a delicate bag. You may want to quiz your SA and look into it some more. Good luck!
