I wish I had some experience with the Furch guitars... unfortunately I have none. I've heard great things about them in general.
I'm kind of a sucker for figured rosewoods, personally. I've played a number of figured EI rosewood guitars that have really impressed me. I certainly don't think one could accurately claim that a straight grain version will 'sound a lot better' - simply based on the backset's grain pattern. Some folks love wildly figured woods - some folks love the more traditional association of the straight grain sets. I say go with whatever will make you want to play the guitar most often, then you can't lose.
The link you provided looks to be a gorgeous instrument! Let us know what you end up doing.
