Well, I went back to the store last night and ordered it. Now I wish I'd seen your post earlier, Sarah. I even checked Macy's (not available at the one near me) but Coach is excluded from the coupon deals and I didn't hear of a sale that included these. However, I'll take another look during the Macy's sale. I guess that I could return the full-price one from the store, or maybe even ask them if they'd be willing to price match (some places are doing that now).
Sarah, it is a slightly smaller bag (I'm holding it in that fourth pic on my original post so you can see the scale), but I'm avoiding large bags. However, I don't want *too* small so it looks out-of-scale on my 5'7" frame. I think this bag has a little more presence in person because it has a zippered compartment on the back side of the bag (designed to hold an ipad or tablet) and it has some depth to it. Whenever I consider a bag now, I empty all the packing paper out of it and try out my belongings from my bag in it, just to see how it works for me. This one is nicely organized and just the right size for my needs.
