This is a no-brainer. You take the trial on the Santa Cruz.

I've gone the custom route with Martin and never again. Unless it's a dealer custom you can buy and return if you don't like it, there is simply too much rolling of the dice. Also, Martin doesn't voice/tap tune their instruments and never has. For 6500 EUR, there are plenty of other fish in the sea and certainly on the boutique side that are better value and who do optimize/tap tune.
