I can't comment on the price differential but while they are very similar they are not identical, the biggest difference is that the Clegg is a two compartment model while the Lotuff is a single compartment. That may/may-not matter to you but it is a substantial functional difference.I'm looking at these two briefcases from Frank Clegg (https://frankcleggleatherworks.com/zip-top-briefcase.html) and Lotuff (https://lotuffleather.com/collections/briefcases/products/leather-zip-top-briefcase). They appear to be identical in design. The Frank Clegg bag, however, uses harness leather. My question is: Is there any reason why I should spend $230 extra dollars on the Frank Clegg bag?
Does this briefcase stand up on its own or does it need to be propped up against something? I'm thinking about pulling the trigger on one of these.
On paper, olive green doesn't sound appealing; but the tone/patina on that make it just right. Suddenly, I'm smitten.Brioni olive green

The extra gusset matters as far as cost.I'm looking at these two briefcases from Frank Clegg (https://frankcleggleatherworks.com/zip-top-briefcase.html) and Lotuff (https://lotuffleather.com/collections/briefcases/products/leather-zip-top-briefcase).

For the other bits, I sometimes find that Lotuff gear looks a tad sexier in photographs. On the other hand, when Lotuff & Clegg were together, I believe that Clegg was the craftsman and Lotuff was the money guy. I have no idea what the implications of that are.
If nothing else, Clegg (Fall River) was a tad closer to me (Boston) when I had a chance to visit the workshop. So that's where my Christmas present came from.
