Does PM in Reverse attract more attention than regular mono? Is it too much?

I've seen a couple of comments about switching to empreinte PM because the mono got *too much* attention. Is the reverse less recognizable as LV or flashier because of the contrast? I'd love one in canvas but don't want to be over the top. Thoughts from anyone who's had both?

I don't really think anyone pays attention to what bag I'm carrying. But if so, it's a passing thought then they move on to another thought about something else. I've had all three (mono, reverse, emp) and settled on the emp noir b/c I like the way it matches my wardrobe better. But all three are lovely bags.

The only LV bag that I wear that gets a ton of attention is the On the Go MM in Reverse. I get compliments and comments when I wear it, but I don't mind it, it is all positive. My Pochette Metis in Reverse does not get the same attention (nor does my Speedy or Neverfull). And I think the regular mono PM is even less flashy. So if you love it go for it. It is a very pretty and practical bag.
 
My husband and I went to a Subway to grab a sandwich for our kid. I was carrying my reverse PM that day and a bunch of teenagers were hanging out inside and one said that I could afford to buy them a sandwich since I had an LV. Definitely seems to attract attention more than my other LV bags.
 
Where I live now, mono anything feels flashy. My mono reverse PM gets stared at everywhere, to the point I've started to feel self conscious wearing it. :sad: Mono is flashy too (imho) but not as "extra" as reverse.

I get the most comments on my reverse PM but it is always positive. Mostly salespeople in stores who comment (both LV and not). I would get what you love and what you will use and everyone else can just mind their own business.
