If you could play both before buying that would be ideal. Your ears and hands would tell you pretty quickly which you preferred. Having said that, the Martin with no pickup isn't a big deal. I put a JJB 330 SBT in mine and LOVE IT, I mean like it's the best gutiar/pickup combo I've ever used and I've had a few acoustics in the last 15 or so years. Here are a couple videos so you can here side-by-side. There are many comparing the Taylor GS Mini to the Martin D Jr10, but not the Academy. Please note that I picked videos that feature both guitars unamplified.
