Was debating this back and forth for my first, and drew a uhm...draw... and went for a 32 HAC instead. I am 5 10/ 140 - will post pics when I get her, should be 10 days-2 weeks or so.....
 
I have both.
You really need to consider what you really want and how you plan to use the bag.
To me, the Birkin used as a tote is best in a 35cm. Some colors seem to look nicer in a 35...like gold or etoupe with the topstitching...and barenia. They just look more casual to me and feel more functional in the larger size.
The 30 cm is more of a purse...and I feel it looks best in the exotics and the bright colors. I really see the birkin as a casual bag..(even in the fab exotics) and I don't care for them with dressy attire.... For dressier options for a purse, I feel that the kelly is a prettier bag. For really dressy events...a clutch :)
 
I have both. Prefer 35 in neutrals (although my 35 is BJ), for work, and 30 in pop of colour for weekends. My 30 is in epsom so it's feather light compared to my Togo35 and a joy to carry :p Still wanting black and etoupe 35 though....

congrats on your new HAC! and ITA, the 30cm is a bit too small for me, and yet i find the 35cm just a little bit too large and bulky. the 32cm HAC is the perfect size IMHO.
