I think I will go with the speedy because I love the speedy shape and size and the price point is better for me compared to the belem mm ...the belem is stunning but, quite a bit more money...with the speedy I will have an all weather bag and the daimer look....the speedy is such an awesome bag can't believe I had to put my mono one away for awhile and take it out again to realize it...it may have been getting use to a hand held bag as well because in the past I always carried shoulder bags...could not imagine my collection without any speedies.....thanks everyone for your input!!!!Happy holidays!!!!
