I'm in the process of looking for my first acoustic guitar, so I'm no expert by any means.
That being said, in my search, I've played two of the guitars you mentioned: the AG610CEAR (which is a GC-only variation of the AG60CEAR - same guitar but with shadowburst finish) and the AG75CE. Frankly, I quite liked both. I wasn't even considering Alvarez until I happened to pick up the AG610CEAR - very comfy with that armrest bevel and quite a lot of guitar for the money. The AG75CE was also very nice and I really liked the combo of cedar with rosewood.
The comfort of both of these is enhanced by the fact that they are both grand auditoriums - most of what I've been considering have been dreads. I've been a bass player for over a quarter century now so I like it when I can feel the thump in my chest. The grand auditoriums aren't far from that mark.
