Patent GST or Bonbon

I've seen both bags IRL and boy, are they gorgeous. They look especially gorgeous in bordeaux. The bonbon is a beauty but just a little too large for me. So my vote would be for the gst.
 
Here is a link from a members pics. of her bags.. include a patent GSt and Bon Bon tote

My concern with the Bon Bon tote was that it may ripe easily, I purchased the black patent, love the Bordeaux color, but I know I would not use it as much as the black. My GST in the older caviar began to lose it's shape, but I believe the patent to be a little more stiffer and keep it's shape longer, just wish the straps would be longer... but I love patent...waiting for the Bon Bon wristlet to come out
 
thank you for the link.

I saw the patent Bon Bon at Chanel and the display one sure had alot of scratches and indentations on it.
It made me wonder why they would have that out - as it did not make for a good sale.
