Thanks, Rockabilly! Being that I already have a good-sounding, bell-brass Republic Duolian, it would seem like the steel-body National Triolian would be a good reso to get to fulfill my National wishes. I still, however, would like a National Style O to quench my once-local resident Son House thingy.
