Hi everyone,
I'm really new to this forum because I have recently discovered LC! I'm contemplating my first few purchases. I'm positive I want the Le Pliage neo (with strap) in either small or medium. But I also want a big "carry all" for when I have to lug more stuff around, and I can't decide between the classic Le Pliage hobo and the Neo hobo. Here are links to each:

The original (non-Neo) is over $100 cheaper, and I like the leather touches and more discreet logo. But the Neo is sleeker--I don't love the cell phone holder that sticks out on the original--and I like the zippered pocket for stashing items in quickly.
Does anyone own one or the other, or both? If you had to pick, which would you pick? I feel like the contrasting leather trim on the original adds a touch of class...but I like the more streamlined look of the Neo. if you prefer the Neo, is it worth $100 difference?
Thanks so much!
