I like the S6 a lot, and often recommend it for people shopping for their first guitar. My older one has a somewhat shorter scale and a wider 1.8" nut, which works quite well for me. Some newer models have a "slim" 1.72" neck, and they appear to now all be regular 25.5" scale length. The upper level Seagulls are all solid wood and are quite nice - very good bang for the buck across the board. All have good build quality. They also make other body sizes too, with the MJ being a nice compromise if a dreadnought is too big.
I'm not a Gibson guy, so I cannot compare directly. It has been a few years since I've even picked up a Gibson in a local store - not many stock them.
