I'm certainly style conscious Orkrist - that's why my wife and I own SL's.

But I had to grip the edge of the seat when I bought the yellow Samsonite this afternoon.
It's color you won't miss, and that of course is the reason I bought it. But I wouldn't buy a yellow Merc. Cases for courses! (Or should that be horses for courses).
My trip is at the end of May, so I'll post my experiences with this bag on my return.
Thanks for everyone's input.
