Vernis Rosewood in Pearl or Epi Madeleine PM in Ivoire?

They're both very similar in design & size, with less than $100 difference in price. Any thoughts on either? I've heard that colors can bleed onto the Vernis Pearl. Could anyone confirm that?
I love vernis. I have the epi madeleine PM in Ivoire which I also love. I guess I'll be biased to say that I vote for the epi madeleine simply because I have one. I think either choice is great for you. Keep in mind that it is harder to maintain a vernis. The epi is so easy to maintain and it's a beautiful bag.
I so love the perle color in vernis but you gotta' be prepared for bad things. Here is a sampling snatched from listings on ebay.
See how some discoloration bled through from the back of the snap:
And here another listing or a perle wallet and the seller describes, "reddening around the edges":
And, a silver vernis with some color transfer:

the rosewood but i'd be afraid to get in perle, esp since it's a shoulder bag and could easily get colour transfer from dark clothing. and not only that, but you'd have to worry about yellowing/discoloration from sunlight. even the SAs at various LV boutiques warned me about getting something in Perle. it is very gorgeous though. i saw someone on Rodeo Dr with a perle Houston and i was like

BUT seriously.. it's soo hard to take care of, so i'd vote for the epi madeleine (you can also dress it up with bandeau or keychains/charms). BUT if i were really rich and can spend several Ks a year on LV then i'd go for the vernis =P
Vernis Perle is gorgeous but I'm worried like everyone else is about the upkeep. It seems like color is a huge concern for light color vernis so I say go for the Epi Madeleine. Epi is low maintenance and can stand up to rain and dirt. Just a simple wipe will do. And the best thing is no vachetta to worry about.
Wow, thanks for all the feedback, ladies. I, too, am a sucker for the Vernis. I just love how that shine just stands out. I didn't realize that the color bleeding was such a problem, since I've got an Houston in Pomme.
I don't have an Epi yet, and the Madeleine is so cute, I figured it would be my first. I'm just waiting for my Saks to receive one! I'll let you know when I finally get it!
