Finally our color has come in for you! I have an epsom RT Kelly. I know I will prefer to not do epsom again unless it is a MUST have Grail color (and there is only 1 color I can think of right know that would make me cave into getting another epsom). I RARELY use her and do not mistreat my bags but I have noticed (sorry but I am anal about markings on my bags) tiny marks on the corners where the color has come off from my basic usage. Now it is still a great leather, good for wiping off water, or dust and dont get me wrong. I just also prefer the feel of Togo, swift, etc over epsom. Put it this way, if I was to order a bag it would not be in epsom. However, I know certain colors are simply not available in anything but epsom and in that case (just like it was for me with RT), if you do not think you will get this opportunity again for BE and if it is your GRAIL color, I would say, get her use, her with caution, enjoy her and you should be fine. In the end H spa can always fix her up again.
