Tumi Briefcases

Did not find the answers to this specific questions, so.. I am planning to buy a Tumi briefcase (think for senior analyst / associate) and would like to know your opinion on the following matters:

  1. Leather or ballistic nylon / fabrics?
  2. Alpha 2 or Alpha Bravo collection? What are the best choices for analysts / associates?
  3. For daily use (office / meetings), should I get a slimmer model that fits a laptop and some paper or should I get a thicker one that I can use when travelling too?

Thanks!
