There are some threads posted in the CF subforum by Rob Bailey of Journey that you may want to search for, where he has posted videos of players with the OF660 sounding great...the oudoor vids actually too great imo, with the sound being studio quality. These are not of the Roadtrip model, they're still well worth the view.

I did a search. Here they are...

Can anybody tell me how the RT660 does with moderate to aggressive strumming?

I've owned one for nearly a year now. In my opinion it's ok for moderate strumming, but I feel it is overwhelmed with aggressive strumming. I picked up an Emerald X20 for more aggressive songs.

I had a Journey RT660 for a while and the only reason why I returned it is because the neck profile didn't fit my hands and my style of playing (fingerstyle). Other than this very personal issue, it is an exceptional guitar with a great warm sound and unbelievable basses. Great value for the money.
I would not hesitate to go for it. Also, take into account that if for any reason you do not like it you can always return it and order an X20. The opposite would be a bit more complicated.
