No, I haven't taken a look at either one yet. In fact, if I do get the Chaumet, I'll kind of be ordering it sight unseen, since it has to be ordered and shipped to Canada, whereas with the VCA I could go look at the store. That's the one thing thats preventing me from pulling the trigger on the Chaumet. Thanks!
Where are you located in Canada? Birks in Toronto at Yorkdale carries a limited amount of Chaumet and Birks on Bloor street will start to carry Chaumet once they complete their renovations. You may want to go to Birks and see if they will order it for you to take a look at it and compare it to the perlee.
