Default A/F vs L/O Avalon/Lowden/Mcilroy

Been playing several examples of the above. Never been a dread man, always OM, 000, etc. Sitting, the L/O felt ok on my 5'7'' 145 pound frame, albeit with a strumming arm position higher then I'm used to. The A /F shape felt a bit more comfy. Funny thing is, the specs are not that different. Liked the heavier droning of the L/0, the shape of the A/F. The bass in the smaller body was certnainly present. Double duty some strumming, mostly finger.

Anybody go back and forth, and favor one over the other? This animal will live in some kind of dropped tuning. In my dreams, I have a Celtic bar band to play in that will encourage drinking and frivolity, but occasionally will do a mournful solo lameting the loss of my clan's ancestral lands in the far north of Scotland to the Sutherlands.


Thanks
Scott
No, really.
