If you are serious about it I would email martin they are very helpful.

While solid is preferable it has no effect on the sound and with wood shortages wings are becoming a necessity for Martin or they go to multi-piece necks.
Select Hardwood necks should not be a deal breaker, play and listen to the guitar, therein lies the answer.....................
