I have had an LXM for the past year and just bought a Cargo. I tried taking the LXM with me when I stay in hotel rooms but found that the cramped fretboard made it less than usable for me. My hands are just too big.

When I tried the Cargo, I immediately liked the 1-3/4 inch nut. It feels like a real guitar to me!. I also like the construction of the Cargo more than the LXM. I sometimes have to leave the guitar locked in my car for 12 hours or so. I think the Cargo will hold up to that better than the LXM.

It's all personal preference. I have both now and will soon be putting the LXM on eBay.
