I had considered this one too. But this one looks really formal to me, unless that's what you are going for. I like that the PM has the leather strap and more organizational slots on the inside. But they seem pretty similar in shape and size.

One thing I'm concerned about is the PM getting worn. I remember seeing the aged Empriente Artsy and thought, ew! With the Saint Germain being more structured, I'm moving towards that direction. I have a PM in monogram and am actually on my 2nd one from glazing issues. I have no desire to relive that with a more expensive empriente version! Still thinking!!!!!

My vote is for this bag over the PM in empreinte. I'm worried about the shape lasting on the PM with that soft leather over time.

This one is a tad more structured like the Montaigne, and looks even better in the empreinte, very classy.

The PM is more of a casual bag, and the leather doesn't seem to suit it quite as well.

You can also wait to see them both and see which one calls to you more!

Totally agree with your assessment. I am concerned about the bag losing its shape.
 
I really don't like this new Noé. It looks terribly flimsy, in my opinion. I much prefer the regular one.

These PMs are gorgeous, though!! Dying to see the cherry, the creme and the rose poudre in person! Although I believe I'll hold off for a while before buying it, just to see if it has any issues.
