Mikie,

I now own the 655 (quilted maple back and sides) that Edward993 mentions in a previous post, as he bought himself an RTaylor 12-er! Playing a Taylor 12 string is like doing harp practice for heaven! You can also get a sitar-y sound to it, on pieces like Norwegian Wood.

I think you'll fall in love with the sound. But they are LOUD, so you may have to take that into account as to when and how you practice. It is just about too big to be a couch guitar, too, though I sometimes play around on it whilst watching TV anyway. Get ready for your LH callouses to get bigger and thicker real fast, too.

One word of advice: get yourself a digital contact tuner if you don't already have one. There are many threads here about those liked (and not) by the members. I like my current TuneTech TT1000, but YRMV.

Have fun!
