I hear David Russel likes low action, but I'm no DR, and he probably has all $20k guitars, minimum.

That's good to know...that's why I thought I'd leave the FE43 at 3.5 mm. The Yairi is a much smaller instrument, intimate, and I play sort of Dominic Miller style on it...it might be a bit low at 2.75 mm on the treble side...but I will have a spare with a slightly higher setup to try...
Thanks for sharing this as we all try to unravel the mysteries of the classical guitar!!
