Hi Chris,
I think that Koa has outstanding string definition or call it separation. Each note rings very true without any sense of mudiness. Excellent for fingerstyle and clean crisp chords. It is bright without being harsh and full without being boomy. My assesment is based on a koa soundboard as well as sides and back. I do not have a cedar toped koa but have heard nothing but great things about those as well.
It does also look amazing but its the sound that gets you. Go play some and make your own decision.
