Everyone has different opinions about woods, but I feel a cedar top is generally more sensitive (because it's softer than spruce?) and therefore lends itself to intricate fingerpicking. The wide neck, the small body, overall ergonomics, and let's not forget an awesome electronic set up make this guitar exactly what I was looking for.
I think you'd have to spent 3 or 4 time as much to approach the attributes of this guitar from another manufacturer.
I looked really seriously at those as well after I got my DR500R. My masterbilt made me a believer.

My experience has been too that cedar tends to be a little more responsive to fingerstyle stuff and least the way I play...I can be more expressive with it.

A lot of what kind of wood is better for what depends on how YOU play it.
