You might keep your eyes open for a BR-140A, since it and the BR-140 differ in nut width and aesthetics. The BR-140A also has a Adirondack top, but I don't think that makes much of a difference between the two.

IMO, Eastmans have a more modern tone than Martins, but your ears may say different.

Have fun checking them out.

I agree with this.
Although their necks are real skinny. They play and sound real strong.
I have had 3 Blueridge and the only one that was full of life is the 140A.
