Since you know what perfect action for you feels like on your Larrivee, I would recommend you take your guitar to a good tech and have him set it up after watching your playing style. A good tech will have the tools and expertise to dial it in for you. It's a worthwhile investment to improve your playing experience IMO. I imagine the tone of the new guitar will still pale to the sound of your Larrivee though.
It is surprisingly good, but the Larrivee is exceptional. I need something with decent electronics for playing with a new group. The Larrivee isn't equipped for that and I didn't want to be hauling in/out venues for these types of gigs.
