My general rule of thumb is to buy the best guitar you can afford -possibly used in this case .The old saying " buy it cheap, buy it twice " comes to mind .Im not a fan of the cheaper Martins-those stratabond necks make me cringe -thou for the money their not terrible .Id look for a used HD-28 , or a well played in D-28 - Ask yourself if that Eastman would really be what you want for the long run . Many Martin owners have theirs for their entire lives -they get better after all those years of playing -
