The Morgans I've played have been more like a high end Larrivee.

I've got to politely disagree. I own a Morgan DM. Very well made mahogany dread. Very loud, perfect intonation, amazing strummer. They are also often cheaper then Collings, Santa Cruz, H & D.
The Larrivee comparison is fair, but they feel, play and sound nicer. I think they compare well with Collings and Santa Cruz. I've owned a Santa Cruz and played many Collings. Can't comment on H & D cause I've never played one.
Personally, I'd rather own a Morgan than a comparably priced Taylor or Martin. Higher end brands all have their strengths, and Morgan is right up there IMHO.
I guess the only negative thing you could say is that they don't have a ton of bling or different design methods/materials, but they make real players guitars.
