Yeah, a sudden surprise price raise like that can cause a lot of second guessing! Sleep on it for a day or two and let the initial frustration pass, consider some of the other options, and then decide if the TB is worth it to you. I bet it probably will be...over the life of the sofa 1k isn't a huge deal. Living 20+ years with a leather you regret IS a huge deal.
I'm in a store, sitting on cheap a leather(ish?) recliner, dreaming of Tiburon Butternut.
So what are the rest of you going to do about the TB? Buy it anyway, or choose another?
I'm actually looking at some of the burnished hides some more. It's a different look, yes, but also unique and pretty. Problem is, I'd really need to see samples in person before committing. I'm looking at Weston Sunrise Burnished and Weston Cane Burnished. If you could go lighter, the Tierra French Luggage would look really cool on Lynne and still look neat with the Weston Moss and your peacock rug colors. You might have to change your wall color though. Think of what leather looks the best on the individual piece and go from there, if you want the sofa to be a focal point in the room.
Has anyone used Weston Sunrise Burnished and/or have any thoughts on it? I've not seen that sample in person, so curious to hear your opinions.

Here's Weston Cane Burnished - http://www.myfurnitureforum.com/atta...3&d=1304192162. It looks like an orangier brown.
My top 6 choices were these:
- Tiburon Butternut
- Capri Butternut
- Garfield Chestnut
- Tuscany Saddle
- Buckingham Walnut Burnished
- Gaucho Mocha Burnished
You can see them in all together here: http://houseofcrunchy.com/ham/leathers.php
Tiburon Butternut won by a landslide because:
- I love the color so much.
- It's a pull-up which I think will look cool when it gets scratched and as it ages.
- It's "rugged" looking and feeling, where Capri is "fancy" looking and feeling.
Yeah sounds like you're confident in your choice anyhow
