If you're happy with your HD28 there's really no reason to trade up; it's an excellent bluegrass guitar. The "v" may be marginally louder and bassier but it kind of depends on the individual specimen. Your HD28 should cut just fine, especially if you have bright strings on it and play near the bridge.

See if that local shop will give you "right of first refusal" on the "v" that they've got coming in, or at least have them give you a call when it shows up. Then A/B the two guitars and decide if it's worth the extra money to you.
