There are some instances where the reverse is true.
I currently have a Goodall KCJC - Englemann/Koa. AMAZING TONE!
Also have a Martin OM-28 Sitka/Koa. Awesome tone as well.
My guess is that the bracing and construction have a lot to do with it.
Bottom line is that one cannot state that one is better than the other.

I fully agree with your post. I recently played a couple of Engelmann/Koa Martins and they were outstanding sounding guitars. I imagine the Goodall is superb. It really is the whole package that has to be heard and appreciated, not just one spec or attribute alone. HOW a guitar is built is REALLY important.
