Cool Takamine...TC 135 SC vs Hirade H8 SS

Trying to gather thoughts without being able to actually do A/B with both instruments.
In this instance TC has electronics...none on Hirade, which is one of the best pure classicals in the Tak product line.

Any pickers out there have any feelings/experience with either of these models etiher plus or minus.

Interesting that they have the EXACT same list/street price...$2799/$1899.

Thanks for your thoughts.

I'm looking at these as well. I played an H-90, I believe, with Cool tube preamp. Oval hole, cutaway, again around $1900. The Hirade sounded amazing, better than any other nylon at the store, and fabulous plugged in. No way I'll be able to deal with a Godin, or whatever, even for non-classical plugged in stuff. I'd love to demo a 135 too. Since I don't play strictly classical, the slimmer neck might be nice, but the sound of the Hirade rocked, (so to speak).
