Hey nutz4purses... IMO I would keep the COACH set, just because I already own that Heritage XL Satchel and LOVE it! I know you were a little skeptical at the size and all, but the B-Bag and the COACH bag are like night and day (two totally different bags)..... they both are GREAT bags, I think your idea of keeping the COACH set and then finding a different black leather bag is a great idea....
