I am starting to see references on the web to Merrill Guitars. I see that Jack Lawrence has just taken delivery on one. Has anyone tried them out?

First, here's blue clicky to Merrill......Merrill Guitars.

And at this point, to answer your question......no.

I would think, based on the listed prices, they should be pretty good instruments.

I know this: (In case any living person with internet access hasn't heard) I now own Jack Lawrence's Collings D2H that he recorded and toured with Doc with from '93 until recently, when he got his Merrill. He put the Collings up for sale on the flatpick list when he found he wasn't playing it anymore since he had the Merrill, and I jumped fastest.

I've never played a Merrill. But if owning one causes a person who owns it to neglect playing this Collings, they must represent a previously unattained level of excellence in steel-string acoustic guitars. Because the Collings is making me neglect all my other instruments.

well, that's one of the better recommendations I've heard. You may have noticed my flair for understatement.
