The Godin folk model is a little larger I think that the LG-2 and Seagull, Art & Lutherie and Norman seem to have have dropped the size from their range, which leaves just the Woodland Folk Pro showing on the Simon and Patrick website.
The Farida OT-22 and OT-25 look great but are not available in the UK.
Perhaps Gibson will start to produce an Epiphone LG-2 in the next few years?

I have an OT-22 and they are great guitars, but I'm starting to think that the only thing that will scratch the itch is an actual Gibson LG-2. UGH!
