I have both and I like the regular pochette accessory nm better.I can't fit my phone with the case on in the mini, so I cannot use it for running around and it ends up just holding "stuff" in my speedy. The regular can fit my phone, compact zippy wallet, coupon/reciept holder and a few other smalls like Burt's bees wax lip balm. Just fyi the pochette accessories is around $200 more than than the mini pochette, not $50...its actually $500 now for the regular. If a chain is why you like the mini, you can get a shoulder or cross body chain for the regular from the ebay seller rebirthday (there are many pics and reviews in the pochette clubhouse). Good luck, let us know what you get.
