I agree with most of the specs being too low for an acoustic-- at least for most players. The exception being the first fret action. I have a Yamaha AC1R that I went too deep on the high e and B strings. I raised the nut by shimming it and re-cut the slots-- more carefully. I set the slot depth so when the string was plucked lightly, an .008" feeler gauge placed under it would just "kiss" it. Plays nicely and intonation is good. A common problem with new guitars at the first fret or two. G chord 3rd fret D note on B string is really offensive if the nut slights are not deep enough. Also E maj chord G# on G string. YMMV.
I like a few though relief and 6/64 low E, 5/64 high e at the 12th fret.
