I even started thinking that the newly designed X20 would be wonderful. But I'll leave that for a future purchase after some of you have it in hand and can report in. No law against owning a few different CF models, is there?
The other close contender was a RainSong, having had great luck with my H-OM. The WS in either the Vintage or Nashville was very appealing. But in the $3500 range, I don't feel it surpassed my final choice.
The McPherson Sable videos and reviews I read were consistently excellent. Ultimately I worked with the nice folks at Eddie's Guitars, speaking with Granville, who worked out a nice deal for me. I should have it on Friday. Granville couldn't have been more pleasant or made it any easier.
Thanks to everyone for all the input and various directions the thread went!

Wait a sec, you're going to buy a guitar that sounds like a tin can? Sorry I couldn't resist, of course I'm kidding. All I can say is I hope you enjoy the Sable as much as me and will be looking forward to your NGD thread.
