+1 for a Martin OM-28V. If you hunt you can snag them in the $2K-ish range used, especially if you don't mind some cosmetic issues.
I bought mine on the strength of others' opinions and it delivers on all counts. Rich, balanced tone with remarkably fat trebles - great for fingerstyle and takes a pick well too. Not that far off from a friend's 1946 OM-28 in many ways.
Good luck in your search.
I love acoustic guitars
