I have the MAB in black w/studs that I got for $450 with long strap, so it was a good deal. BUT when I first got it I was disappointed & wanted to sell it. The leather on the black studded is thinner than other RM leather-- not at all cheap, just different.
I've grown to like my studded MAB & use it a lot-- it's lightweight and has a cool '80's vibe, but if I had to do it again I'd look for a black basketweave or black satin finish w/silver hardware.
