You might keep your eyes open for a BR-140A, since it and the BR-140 differ in nut width and aesthetics. The BR-140A also has a Adirondack top, but I don't think that makes much of a difference between the two.
IMO, Eastmans have a more modern tone than Martins, but your ears may say different.
Have fun checking them out.

I would agree about Eastman having a more modern voicing. Having owned both Martin and Collings guitars, I would put the Eastman's tone between the two. At least to my ears anyway. They certainly have their own voice.
