I am really like the burgundy one, congrats on picking up two! If I got another one I'd go for regular leather in burgundy, kummel, or another ostrich in forest green. You should be eligible to get after sales service with an online purchase, however you may have to send your item directly to their workshop in Italy if anything. Or they may ask the boutique nearest to you if they can handle it.
Out of curiosity, did you turn down the MK because you prefer the EP, or just because it doesn't work for you regardless? I thought the two bags would be quite similar in terms of what they can hold.
