I have a couple of Collings. A 2 year old mahogany/adi OM, and a 13 year old 12-fret mahogany/adi dread. The '95 has come into its own in terms of tone and I suspect it will continue to improve. The OM is just starting to come around.
The Collings are very responsive and that extra stiffness seems to provide volume and projection that can be lacking in guitars that have a softer feel.
I wanted a guitar that would be at home on stage or in the studio. (not that anyone wanted me on stage or in the studio) I just sold a nice couch guitar. Warm sound, soft feel, and for me, uninspiring.
