It seems like the regular city and the city with silver hardware are close!
The first violet bag that I saw was the violet hobo with giant gold hardware and I fell in love! I told myself that I would get that when it came out. However, after seeing the city with the giant silver, I became very confused and wanted that too. I have all cities and firsts in my collection with regular hardware and no hobos so I figured it would be good to get a hobo. However, I'm very used to my cities! I think the city with rh would have more longevity but the rh really looks a bit boring compared to the ones with giant hardware.
I don't mind the weight either since I own a paddy...LOL!
It would be too silly of me to get a city with rh, sgh and a hobo with ggh but that would be a dream!
