This is a great point that I wish I had mentioned in my first post. The JOMT Vintage I sold was definitely more responsive than the D Vintage I have now. The D gives me that linear 1:1 output zmf is talking about, whereas the JOMT gave me more like 1.2:1.

I have a medium light touch overall, so I prefer guitars where I don't need to work as hard at getting a loud and full tone, especially if I'm sitting on the bed at night noodling before packing it in. In this situation, I'm definitely not reaching for the D-Vintage, as it's not as sensitive as say, my Santa Cruzes at a light attack. It's much more musical when I up the volume and the picking force.
