MacBook Pro - Booq Mamba Saddle for new MBP?

I'm thinking of getting the Booq Mamba Saddle bag for my new Macbook Pro. The problem is that Booq's site states the laptop compartment width on this bag as 14.2", while Apple says that the new Macbook Pro's width is 14.35".

Now, a difference of only .15" seems inconsequential, but, before spending $125 on this bag, I'd like to know if anyone with Booq bag experience can comment on how flexible they are. In other words, will I be able to just make it fit?

Thanks!

Hey!

I'm working on a Mamba Saddle review at the moment actually, but I think you should be fine:

The notebook compartment is fairly sturdy, but the material is still a bit "squishable". So it might be a little bit of a squeeze, but you should be able to slide the new model in as well.

It's a great bag though - perfect for my Macbook!
