Cool Solid Canadian cedar top, mahogany b/s - tone?

I have several guitars with solid cedar soundboards, with b/s of solid rosewood, laminated rosewood, laminated mahogany and laminated wild cherry. While I get great tone from all (all classical guitars w/nylon strings), I agree that the solid b/s sounds better to my ear. But I attribute that to many other factors that affect tone, such as bracing, thickness of the soundboard and the quality of strings one uses
