Sorry, Peter, but I cannot contain myself.....My Collings forces mne to brag about it.

For sok (how do you make that accent over the "o"), though, it is strictly a matter of personal preference. You may consider conducting a test blindfolded at you guitar store. Have them hand you guitars and play them over and over. Pick the one that fits you best in terms of sound and feel. You may be surprised and save lots of dough, or you may go way over your budget. But, you will wind up with the guitar that is meant for you.
