I had one which I sold through Elderly, it was uncomfortable with the depth and never sounded right or in tune. On the demos if the guitar is being played in a style that you can relate to I think there's a better chance of it being something you would like but mine was useless and stayed in the "closet of shame" for most of its 5 year stay with me. I haven't ever played a guitar as problemmatic as the Nick Lucas in terms of comfort and intonation.
I don't have much experience with tonewoods, most of mine are ladderbraced birch, but I think my little Art and Lutherie roadhouse sounds better than that one did. Those Martin and Taylors I have tried in store - the NL was not in the same class in terms of rich resonance IMHO. YMMV
