I played the D17m several times. I owned an old style D18, as well as a newer2012 model since the redesign.

1) you can not go wrong with either.

2) this may be heresy for some Martin folks, but the D17m, a below-standard series, is perhaps the best Martin Dread I have played in a long time. I prefer the 1 11/16 width, as opposed the the 1 3/4 width PA taper neck on the new D18. I also prefer the sound. It is an amazing guitar at any price point, let alone sub $1500
