I bought a used Martin D12X1 with what looked like to me to be just a little bit of bellying. Fortunately it appears that I was right. It had not been humidified for the previous year and after I had it consistently humidified for a few weeks I had a set-up done and it seems to have stabilized. What this leads me to think is that to some extent the belly doesn't matter as much as the relative stability of the top related to humidity. Of course, there's no real answer to the OP's question, but this is my recent and limited experience.
