For me personally, if I'm choosing a bag it needs to fill a need. An example would be: work tote, crossbody for errands, evening clutch with goldtone hardware, or dressy satchel.
If it fills a need and the choice would be to get a Limited/Special Edition on vs. a staple one, it would then depend on usability (and price). If I'm looking for something to be a workhorse and it's a delicate suede with crystals, then no. But if it's buttery soft leather, it'd make a great workhorse and it would come home with me. I'll spend the money on a LE/SE version if it feels worth it.
I would already be spending the money, so why not spend it on something special!
