No worries...easy mistake to make. Your enthusiasm much appreciated. 
In fact I was also considering an AR610 (mahogany, 17" body) DjB had in stock at the time I made this purchase. It was a couple hundred $$ less, sounded good in the demo. I was concerned about the ergonomics of the 17" body, so I went with the AR805.
A few months later I got to test drive a used AR610 at Gryphon. I found-to my surprise-it was remarkably similar in tone and feel to my AR805.
Cheers!
