For fingerstyle, grand concert sizes come across the mic really well as a full-bodied instrument. The bass tilt-up of a close condenser is countered by the gentle bass of the GC. For many other applications the grand auditoriums come across well. If you are playing rhythm with an ensemble I love to see you bring a mahogany or rosewood grand auditorium with you. If we are going for the "chirp" or high-end scrape I know I'll be rolling out the bass and carving out the mids. Done.
