i have a WS1000 and find it to be an incredibly well rounded instrument
responds very well to everything from light finger picking to some pretty aggressive strumming.
while, shape wise it is closest to a 'grand auditorium', it is quite a bit thicker.
before choosing mine, i did get to briefly play a jumbo & dred
what comes to mind quickly when i think about the jumbo is "wall of sound"
it was just a huge sound! quite impressive, but wrote that one off as i figured that i would have a hard time not overpowering my voice
the dred was even more tempting, in fact in a pure unplugged tone competition i would probably pick it over the WS for my type of playing (mainly strumming/picking) but in the end the WS won out from the combination of comfort (i just like the tight waisted boxes) the cutaway (i'm a big fan) and the electronics (the dred i was looking at didn't have them).
