Thank you in advance for your advice!

For me, it was more a case of what to leave out. I was working to a definite budget with my X20, and, in fact, was poised to buy an Opus. I procrastinated, and by the time the moment came, the Opus was no more. Once I realized I could get an Artisan without electronics, and with just the gig bag, the price was back in the right territory again.

I did change my mind and get the hard case at the last minute; I realized that I already had a gig bag that would work (albeit nowhere near as pretty as the Emerald one), and that it would be worth the extra for the case. I'll just get a gig bag with the next one
