They are very different animals- bracing systems, tone woods, etc. Speaking very generally, in an either/or situation, I will usually prefer rosewood to hog. But, in my opinion, Martin accomplished something special with the 2012 D18. Hopefully, though, you'll have the opportunity to try both. You are choosing between two guitars that will sound and play very differently from one another.
