I agree. I came up in the era of mahogany being the "poor man's choice" over rosewood. That was and is BS. I think Sapale is in the same stage right now. I don't find it as visually interesting as mahogany, but tonally it holds it own. I have, however seen some quilted Sapale that knocks the eyes out of your head.
