Not that it matters, but the original post is from February 2020, and it appears that the original poster stepped up to a 000-15SM in February of this year:

I played a 000-10e at Rudy’s and really liked it. It’s an excellent guitar for the price. I ended up getting a 000-15M, but would recommend the 000-10e for anyone looking for that sweet mahogany sound in a guitar for under $1k. One feature of the 10e that I prefer over the 15M is the shorter scale. Not as particular about the wider nut, but there is that, too. In some ways, the 10e gives you some of the features of the 15SM, with the body shape of the 15M.
