Thanks for the input! Maybe that will be a better size for me? I also was doing some thinking and called the LV store to check status on the Damier Speedy. They said they didn't have a waiting list but were unsure when shipments were coming. I wouldn't mind having one if prices weren't going up...but then again, I probably will get one anyway!
Ok...so I finally made the decision: the Ribera is going back tomorrow until I can find something that I literally can not live w/o. It's bittersweet but I know it's the logical choice. Back to square one I guess.
