Tuesday my D-18 will be heading down the A1 to that London.
I'm anticipating a state-of-the-art setup "Neck straight as an arrow, plays like butter, rings for days"!
Chose to have it set up with D'Addario EJ17 'cos, as I've said before, I get no extra life from coated strings and so the extra cost of 'em is (for me) money wasted.
Gone for a heavy strummer setup: 0.003" above 1st fret, 0.010" neck relief and 7/64 and 6/64 at the 12th.
When it returns, I'll write an honest review including total cost.
