Once you start using it, it'll be your fav. bag! I use my mono speedy 25 all the time. It's my "beater" bag. You can stuff a ton in a speedy and it still looks sexy!
If you like or can get used to a handheld bag...you WILL use speedy!!! Personally I am more comfortable with the handheld and the speedy 30 is my favorite bag, I have the mono and would get it in the 25 too, great bag.
I was into shoulder handbags only until I got my first Epi Speedy 25 --- it's a great all-around bag. It's a killer, though, when you are shopping and you want your hands free and you have to hold your Speedy.
