I was looking through this thread for old time's sake, and have an update. A couple of years ago I saw a Taylor 110e in a shop and tried it. I was impressed. I went back with my Martin and a friend, and had him listen to me playing both guitars (in the same room at the same time, for a proper comparison). While the Martin had a stronger bass, we both felt the Taylor had a better balanced tone and more presence. I bought the Taylor and sold my Martin. I am very happy with the Taylor. I still have the Simon & Patrick, and it still sounds quite good. That was one of the best purchases I ever made.
