I've got a Tanglewwod parlor in cedar \ mahogany, while it a nice guitar with great projection, i wouldn't put it in the same class as a Martin.
Martin Guitars are full of tradition and and while the Tanglewood is nice it's still made in China, i'm not knocking a Chinese guitar but grab one of each brand keep them both for a year and sell them.
The market will tell you which one holds it value, not necessarily which one sounds the best.
Same goes for any brand.
