Preach on brother Ed!
I would add that sometimes our expectations lead us to disappointment. The Larrivee you have is a fine all solid wood guitar made by hand. It may not be voiced like a Martin, but it isn't junk. So, if you were expecting miracles, I am not surprised you were disappointed. That said, there are some D-18s that might be a step above your well played in Larrivee. The D-18 GE, for instance. Or, maybe you should think about a D-28 to compliment your Larrivee.
