I've read all the other contributions to this thread and, while I respect other opinions, get the back pin, get it set up correctly, and you will not look back. The quality and sound is remembered when the price is long forgotten. I currently own two Martins: a D-28 and a D-18, a Takamine Santa Fe and a Santa Cruz F-128. Buy a Martin or a Santa Cruz!!! I've had Guilds & Gibsons, Levins, Hagstroms and Harmonys. You have a great guitar - go to sleep satisfied, a tweak or two may be necessary, but the basic material is in your hands.
