My favorite too, but the price range is a little north of the instruments listed. My take on these are that the Breedlove and Taylor are far removed from the traditional tone of Martlin like guitars. I have found the Breedlove Atlas concert bodies to be hit or miss. Another consideration is the 000-16GT or 000-M. While I haven't played a Taylor GC3, and I would, with some strings other than Elixer nanos, it may be very promising.

I can say, with a good setup is the Recording Kings and Blueridges are very good sounding instruments in the import arena. My own RK is a very nice representation of the traditional 000 short scale.
