I love the Taylor. Its small body is super comfortable, as is the neck, but the tone is really subdued for a 12 string, especially what you'd expect from a Taylor. Rich, but not bright, and certainly not jangly.

The Taylor's the most expensive guitar I own and I'm thinking about selling it in favor of the $650 Tak.
I agree with the Takamine being easy to play. My 12 string is arguably one of the easiest playing guitars I own.

I like the GJ72CE 12-string so much that I went and purchased the matching 6 string awhile back.
