I agree that the biggest difference between the Entourage and the Coastline is the nut width options. It's actually 1.8 inch on the Coastline ... a distinct difference from the 1.72 and a huge difference from the 1.68 offered on most guitars in that price range.

Personally, I prefer the Standard models because of the 1.75" nut widths and matte finishes. The 1.72" are too cramped for me. I know that 0.03" doesn't sound like much, but it feels huge to my long fingers. And I don't like gloss finishes on wood...purely personal preference. I don't notice any tonal differences that I could attribute to the finishes.
