I'm curious which Emeralds you played back then...I spent some time at a guitar shop a few months ago with my Taylor 510, an Emerald X20 woody, and Rainsongs (CH-WS, CH-OM, and APLE). The Emerald was definitely the warmest of the five.
If you post your location, you may find a place to audition some of the other options.
