I own a Tacoma DR20 (sitka top, EI Rosewood b&s), and I'm in love with it. I searched around, played a LOT of guitars (Taylor, Martin, Larrivee, Collings, Seagull, etc) and the Tacoma was my favorite of any guitar under $2,000, and I got it for $500! It's VERY loud and very deep, yet crisp enough to define the high end too. Nothing against Taylor, but I'm a college student who can only afford one guitar, and I couldn't justify even buying the 310 over the Tacoma. My dad has a 410 and I like it, but I prefer my Tacoma, and it was half the price.
Interesting fact: Tacomas are made in Tacoma, WA. They started off by selling wood to Taylor and Martin, then started making guitars. They have some FANTASTIC wood.
Anyway, I love it. But as always, each guitar is different.
