If you want NF GM size, I say custom Le Pliage XL with long handles. The size is pretty much spot on. The Large size is around the same size as a NF PM.
I have a XL custom LP and I love it - weighs close to nothing and can carry a ton.
 
Everlane Day Market Tote. The strap drop is really nice, the wider handles help when carrying heavier loads and it has enough structure to stay upright on its own. I purchased it and a Holly LifePro organizer that zips and it is a great combo. Good luck deciding. I have 2 NF MM's and had a GM that was defective. I almost bought a new GM but tried the Everlane and really love it. The straps are way more comfortable. Cuyana also make some nice totes as well.

Is the ever lane market tote slightly heavier than NF since it’s leather? How are the corners from wear and tear? The market tote is beautiful and I have had my eye on it for a while.

I think the weight is about the same as a Neverfull. I only have the bag about a month and a half and have used it exclusively for work. So far I don't see any corner wear. I think since is slimmer, I don't bump into nearly as many corners as I did when I had a NF GM. I load it down between my essentials and usually a 2 inch thick file or a laptop and something slimmer plus a travel mug. The thick straps are doing really well with the weight. So much better than LV...the first time I used a laptop in it, my glazing on my MM DE started cracking. That said, the first bag I ordered had a flaw in the leather so they exchanged it. The second one also had 2 marks in the leather but I figured I would just keep it given how I wanted to use. So far, it seems pretty indestructible. I accidentally pulled it up from under a table at a meeting and caught the edge of the table. For sure I thought I scratched the heck out of it, but it didn't even show any mark. I am really impressed with it...far more than I expected, especially given the price point.
 
If you like totes, I definitely would recommend the LC le pliage neo top handle in large. It includes a long strap so you can wear it crossbody. Also nothing beats a wipable bag for all those wet diapers or clothes baby changes in and out of.
