I think the topic of a set up is covered pretty well by others, the bottom line is that usually Martin sets up string a bit higher and that's probably what felt uncomfortable. It can be fixed by any competent luthier in about 10 minutes.

Now, I want to comment on the sound difference. It seems like you were comparing Taylor's 312 to Martin D-28 and Martin won in warms and volume. Before you make a final decision, make sure you are comparing "apples to apples". Martins rosewood dreadnought will always sound warmer than smaller body, mahogany Taylor. Compare D-28 to Taylor 710, 810 or 910 to make a realistic comparison. And good luck with your choice whatever that will be :-)
