Default Rainsong SWS1000N2 vs HWS1000N2

Another Rainsong questions here, seemed like a new thread was best.

I have seen the odd SWS1000N2 for sale on the internet and I was wondering what the difference is compared to the current HWS1000N2. So far all I know is that S stands for Studio series that is discontinued and that it has a "Fine Textured" finish. Are they basically the same guitar?? What are the differences??

Another general Rainsong question. I see that the WS body has an endpin depth of 5 inches. That's really deep! are the WS a beast to get your arm around?? Are there aspects of it that make it not feel as big as a Dread??

I know that their OM is 4.125. However that coupled with the lower bout that is only 15.25 means not much bass to me. I played an APSE (AL Petteway model) and it was very nice, but lacked some bass. Al said that he choose that body specifically for that purpose, since his wife handles the bass frequencies with her guitar he just looks to the mids and treble.
