Count me a member of the kitty litter box crowd, but I say it's a nice-looking bag, and even though it's spendy, if you'll get lots of use out of it, and it perfectly meets your needs -- if it will regularly simplify your life so you can devote more energy to other things, then go ahead and invest in it!

Personally though, I think if you shop around a little I bet you could find a duffel or overnight bag that's way cheaper and still fits the basket almost as well. The sugarloaf says it has a 14"x7" footprint, this bag's footprint is 14x7 1/2, and also looks pretty nice (even though it's listed as a woman's bag it doesn't look specifically feminine to me)
