I wouldn't immediately be drawn to the ROS-647 because I am wary of small guitars with rosewood B/S, which tend to lack the midrange and sound too bright (like the Martin 000-28 models I have played). But check out this video and review. The guitar sounds fantastic and he mentions the balanced tone without piercing treble. It's amazing the quality of the bass, midrange and treble in this clip. Hard to find a small guitar with these qualities. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9800NuuHPhs

I understand what you are saying about the midrange, but I have 3 12-fretter spruce/rosewood guitars and none of them are too bright. All have a nice deep voice with a strong but reasonable treble. It's a preference for certain but not a design flaw.
