I see your point. Think about durability of this bag, she has unfortunately no protection on the corners and that cannot be repaired, I returned mine, even though I loved it. This bag is unfortunately one or two season bag, canvas is very thin. Bag has to be used and not babied, because I am freaked out how much did it cost. I do not want to be limited, it is only a bag, she has to serve me, not me to her. If you do not care about the price, keep it, but I would invest into different model which has better chance to survive more than one or two years (has repairable parts). Depends on how often you want to change your bags and style...This is my honest opinion. I still like the look, especially in DE, but I will trash it in one year and that is little too expensive...
