Default Rainsong WS3000 / Guild GAD F212 / Tak EG523SC12

I'd really appreciate some input on making a choice between the above 12 strings. They are at very different price points, but I like them all for different reasons. I am a little concerned about going with more bling than my talent can deliver! I guess the real question is what would be a good solution for a non-pro, intermediate player? Is a Rainsong too much guitar, is the TAK too little, will love the Guild as much as I did my 1967 F212 built in Hoboken?

As one recent thread pointed out- option paralysis!

Any opinions will be appreciated. I think I already know Tarpman's answer...

Thanks guys!

I got a Guild Gad F212 about two weeks ago, and I am pleased with the instrument. Haven't tried the others and can't say one is better or worse than the others but I like my 12 string.

The Tak sounds a bit lack luster, the Guild is a mother to play, and the Rainsong is as good as 12 string can get. They are easy playing and can be left tuned to concert pitch forever and they sound fantastic plugged in. Call Ted at LA Guitar Sales, last I checked he had a gorgeous Jumbo 12 with a black ice finish.
