Hi, bagstobuy -- Yes, I'm lovin' mine. The leather has a very subtle sheen, but still has that knock-around look that I prefer, as I'm not a fancy-purse girl. The leather on mine is definitely pebbled, but it's still so soft. I like the magnetic closure, too, as I can easily get to my cell phone kept in the sidewall pocket, eliminating the need for the cell bag I used to attach to other purses. The shoulder strap is the perfect length for me, and the handles are comfy, too. After some experimentation I decided to widen the drawstings as much as possible to allow quicker access to the inside.
I'm sorry that you're on the fence about your bag. You have to be comfortable with your choice and end up with what you love, since there are sooo many choices out there. I'll be interested in what you decide to do.
