Here is a comparison of the Filofax Malden to the Filofax Kensington, both in Personal size. I filmed the comparison video (see below the table) years ago, and (along with some other old videos) have finally been able to edit it to share. Unfortunately I did not measure the Kensington and I am unable to find measurements of it, so that information is missing. Hopefully you are able to get an idea of the measurements when see the two planners side by side in the video. If anyone does have the measurements of the personal size Kensington, please let me know and I will update this post.
