Taylor has a consistently good feel/neck and this is certainly a hallmark of their success IMO . . .
Remember, Martin does not have just one neck shape. It makes a variety of necks to suit different tastes. I have both a Martin 000-28 EC and a Taylor GC5. The Taylor neck is nice enough, but I prefer the shape and feel of the very un-Taylor-like modified V neck on the Martin. So I think it is a mistake to assume that the Taylor neck will always have better feel, to every player, than a Martin neck.
