Well I have one - or more - of each major brand (Rainsong, CA, Blackbird, Emerald). Every brand has its strengths and weaknesses, and you just have to find the combination of sound and features that works best for you. One thing you can say about all CF guitars is that they are well built. You don't waste your time making cheap guitars out of expensive and superior materials.
I've played the Rainsong parlors several times in stores and was duly impressed with the sound.
