I think that may have been the strategy of the original Composite Acoustics, and although CA guitars weren't cheap, they were underpriced and likely contributed to their downfall, thankfully resurrected by Peavey who recognized how good Ellis' designs were/are. I can't speak to most brands, but Emerald may present the best value for what you get. Unfortunately, I don't think CF builders can produce much cheaper without threatening their survivability.
