You already have some mighty fine guitars, but there is nothing wrong with seeking another guitar that has a different sound or feel to what you already have. McPhersons will certainly give you that, as will the Goodalls mentioned by others. I've owned Goodalls and played several McPhersons, but my personal preference goes to a modern sound exemplified by Mike Baranik's guitars.
All three builders offer beautifully crafted instruments; I hope you can find opportunities to play examples of work by these builders and others to find what suits you. And be prepared to change your thoughts. I once went into Music Emporium really excited to be able to try a guitar by one particular builder, but I left ME really excited about a guitar by a builder that previously I had not even heard of!
Good luck,
Col
