Good Question. I like the hobo because i like the slouch but hobos are hard to keep organized and locate things in. I like the gallery tote b/c its organized but too structured and boxy. hmmm... did I answer my own question?
I vote for the gallery tote, as well. I just switched my work tote yesterday from my Legacy satchel to my Signature gallery tote and I absolutely love it. I've always loved the gallery totes and never much cared for hobo styles.
I think they're both really pretty & for similar reasons (black patent!). If it were me I'd consider if I already have hobos or totes and get something to complement what I have.
Did Coach only make the black patent Ergo hobo in one size? (the large) I just find it slouches kind of funny so I would say maybe go with the Gallery Tote.

I think you also have to decide what kinda of patent you like more. The hobo is crinkley and the gallery is smooth. I prefer the crinkle.. it's soooo smooshy.
