I'm so confused! I know these are first world problems but I can't decide.
I think it makes sense to have a bigger pocket. However that being said when I had my speedy 30 I never put anything in that pocket besides sometimes my headphones.
Im leaning towards either. I like bits and pieces of both.
The one without the zipper is MIF wish is a bonus and also the color of the canvas is more cool toned which I like. However, the leather handles have wrinkles and are matte which is a negative. The pocket is bigger which can be a positive
The one with the zipper is the newest model which is a pro. The leather hands don't have much wrinkling and the leather is shiny which is a plus. The color of the canvas which is warm tone which I don't love but don't mind that much either. The pocket is smaller which is a con and the zipper doesn't seem as smooth.
In the end what would you choose? A MIF without a zipper but a larger pocket or a MIU with a smaller zippered pockets?
Well.. MIF if you can but I don't go crazy looking for one. It's the luck of the draw. Lol. I just looked at the photos in the other thread. The handles are pretty wrinkled but it's on the bottom so if you could live with that then keep it.
I don't mind the MIU as long as I don't have to see the cloth tag. I don't think either will lose value being made in one or the other.
You could keep the MIF with the bigger pockets and then see if you could get the handles replaced if they get worst before the year is up. That's probably what I would do.
