Drakeford, my suggestion is that you get a rosewood OM and put a John Pearse armrest on it. The armrest lifts your arm off the top, resulting in quite a bit more tone and volume, particularly in the bass response.
The Larrivée OM-03R is in satin finish, not high gloss, but if you can live with the satin finish that's by far and away the best deal in a rosewood OM you can find, at least among guitars built in North America.
Hope this helps.
