Default Dreadnought under 1k

Hi guys,

So I've got a Taylor 214ce Koa back and sides and I love it.
I was thinking about buying a Dreadnought (without cutaway) under 1k to my gear.
It's gotta be brand new and consistancy would be nice, since I'll be ordering online and a friend that is traveling to US will pick it up for me. (some brands you gotta try 5 guitars to find one that sounds good).

There are 3 main guitars that I'm interested, but I'm open to recommendations.

1. Martin D10e
I mean, when you think about dreadnought, you think about Martin, right?
Is the D10e any good? Should I save more for a D12? Or a Martin from the Xseries do the job for less?

2. Taylor 110e
To be honest I'm almost dismissing this one. Even lovin Taylor sound, I already got one and I'm afraid I won't find a lot of difference tone wise.

3. Gibson G45 Studio
The most expensive one, right at 999 USD. Spec wise, it checks every box. It's all solid wood, and it's the only one made in America.
But I'm not sure if they are as consistent as Taylors

Let me know if I missed anything! As I said, I'm open to other brands and models.

Thanks
