Glad I could help. It just happens I have the bags that you were looking to compare ��. To be honest at the moment I'm into small cross body bags as I have 2 small ones under 3, so my shoulder bags kinda got neglected. Between the 2 I use my totally more as I prefer the security of the zipper and I gravitate to the carefreeness of the DE. It might be different if I have a neverfull in DE, as I can see how easy a neverfull can be, but I just don't seem to reach out for my mono one. Good luck deciding!
