CraigS, my Tak is one of those old ones with a fake Martin look and better made than the later ones. It sounds just fine; am I nuts to think it;s worth more than $150? I just can't play a big guitar anymore.

Moonjen, I used to change my strings just the way you describe. I'm cross-dominant myself. It's just a hassle. the old ones look sort of unwound, so I think I'm going to have to break down and do it. Batting my eyes hasn't worked for awhile.
