I love the look of vacchetta but I do not like the weight. I know Tenkrat has said some of the smaller bags are not that heavy in Vacchetta. I just do not want a heavy bag so have never taken the plunge and bought one.

I am typically not a fan of leather with texture but I love me some vachetta. I have a Little Muse in the river blue and adore it, dont find it heavy at all. Now if it was a full size Muse, that would probably be a different story.
So many ladies really like vacchetta somehow it does not appeal to me. I am not sure why. My favorite leather is definitely nappa. I love the look and feel of nappa. I also love the new pompei leather as it reminds me somewhat of nappa. Nice that Marco has all these choices so that everyone finds something to their liking.
I think our leather preference is the same!
I used to worry about weight, but found with top handles plus shoulders straps I can swap how I carry a bag so it doesn’t bother me any more. If I am going out and will be walking a long way I take a small light one. I decided I was willing to put up with the weight because of the beauty. My full size Valerie is in vacchetta so I may eat these words. lol.
I am with you on the nappa love. While my favorite Marco's leather is still probably Africa (such a rare combo of durability and statement!), but Nappa is definitely a close second or a co-first. It's just so classic in the best way possible!
I CANNOT WAIT TO SEE THAT VALERIE AND MARVEL IN HER BEAUTY!!!
Vacchetta is my one exception as I also typically pick nappa, Pompeii, and flat calf first.
It is strange ....
when I first found this site I was totally into all of the smooth leathers like those you listed. Then I discovered Africa, vacchetta and my beloved Verona. I am a convert to texture now!!!! Especially my Verona. I have a Theia coming in it and cannot wait! As someone said earlier MM has something for everyone.
Love the diversity. I love the nappa colors but just am not a fan of the texture. So far I prefer merino, pebbles, and Verona leather
Mini Zhoe posing with my Hermès scarf of the day. Under the fluorescent lights is the most true representation of the marine blue nappa. Please excuse the desk clutter. 
Merinos is my favorite, though I've only had bags in that, pebbled, africa, and Vachetta. And the special Valentine's special leather. I also prefer the Merinos on some of my bags to the Merinos on others (I have 4 pieces in Merinos). My favorite is the black, though it may also be that the style (full size soulmate) works the best with the leather type. It is one of my most used bags, though not as much in the summer.
I’m a texture/slouchy girl. Verona is hands down my favorite with Aquila Matte being a very close second for its scrumptious and very nice feeling when get touched.
I’m so so about the rest. Merino is nice and like a pillow, pebble has many stunning colors and so is Nappa. But I like Verona and Aquila Matte the best.
