Default What high end neck is a CA Cargo neck comparable to?

I'm aiming to get a nicer high end guitar in the next month or two and I'm A/B-ing guitars as and when I can, but one question for people who own Cargo's and one or more more expensive guitars (>$1500), is what would you say is a neck on a higher end model that is comparable specifically to the thickness of the Cargo neck? Does it feel like a low profile or is it thinner than any other neck you've felt...

It is a 1 3/4 width nut on the Cargo, but the neck feels very thin to me - but maybe others can put it in perspective...

Thanks in advance...

IMO, the Cargo neck plays and feels like a Taylor (which I like).

I sold my Cargo a while ago, so going by memory, I'd say the neck is just a hair chunkier, thicker in girth, than a Taylor. More like a Martin Modified Low Oval, if you're familiar with that. Just my personal impression, based on my best memory.
