Filson's New Lock - Field Satchel 252

[mdp0430]

I'm wondering what you guys think of the Field Satchel with Filson's new lock? I just bought this and was surprised to find a totally different lock. Verified with Filson that they've updated to this version. Looks a bit more contemporary I think... Trying decided if I should exchange it for the version with the older lock. What do you think?

Is it still brass coated stamped metal? That lock is the one thing I don't like about my 252.

Nice use of alliteration.

Yeah, I think it's still the same brass stamped metal just with a different look.

Still trying to decide which I prefer, but I'm leaning towards the one I have....

Here's another pic:

So what does the Monday crowd think of the new lock? I'm kinda used to the old one, but might keep the new one out of laziness... What's your take?
