Yes, the Mandy has on and off been in outlets. I bought the whiskey one before Xmas for $350 at the outlet (they were running an extra 10% off at the time, and that was the approx. price with tax included). Since then my closest (and rather useless) outlet has gotten them on and off....not sure what they cost, though. They have also had the natural and white too.
Yeah, you're right...the Leigh is small. I also find the Mandy looks small when packed with your stuff and on the shoulder...it kind of sinks down.
