Yes I did try both sizes i.e. the 20cm and the 26cm. I like both sizes though its virtually impractical to get the 20cm. To be honest both are quite impractical if I need to constantly prevent the shiny polished hardware from getting scratched up and the need to constantly open up the flap and close it back to access items inside the bag. Though it is entirely leather inside, I think I'll need to get a pouch to contain my knick knacks so as not to scratch the lining inside. And it is heavy.Were you looking at the MM? Did you try on the PM? I personally tend to prefer big bags for everyday but I can fit essentials for the workweek into the PM and it is lighter than the MM. IMO it's almost a different bag because of the size difference.
