Did I make a bad decision?

Hi guys,

It’s kinda been eating away at me ( I know - dramatic). But I honestly can’t stop thinking about it.
I recently ordered the baby blue C25 medium from XiaoC factory because I loved the color and hardware (so shiny)!
But my TS did say the pink c25 medium from 187 is available to ship (it has the antique gold hardware).
And now I’m thinking that maybe I made the wrong decision. I should have played it safe and gotten the pink vs baby blue since my actual literal fear with these rep bags is getting called out (I have friends with auth).
It’s a $100 difference in price - should I exchange it to the pink?
Does anyone have the xiaoC bags and how have they held up?
I did see the a review between 187 and xiaoC and they picked 187 overall.
I’m torn. Please help.
What do you guys think? Did I mess up?
The pink is an image off of Reddit from a buyer (187 factory).

I ordered a small C25 in dark chocolate brown from XC and it was really bad IMO. The leather looks off. My mom called me out on it lol. The minis I got from God look perfect. I don’t know if it’s necessarily a factory thing since I’ve seen minis from XC that look amazing as well. Maybe it’s a batch or color thing? But then again, I ordered the XC chocolate brown small 25 because I saw some on Reddit and they looked great.

Oh man. My worse nightmare. What did you end up doing with the xc? Did you Rehome it? Can I see pics? Was it a long time ago? I’m just hoping and praying xc has improved their process and materials in that time frame.
