Congratulations! Despite the presence of many (some might say too many) guitars in my music room, my Campellone Special is the one I pick up EVERY SINGLE DAY.

Mark is now using parallel bracing. I believe back in 2002 he was still using X bracing. Somewhere I read a comment of his that, for his style of building, the bracing configuration doesn't matter. Be that as it may, the conventional wisdom is that X bracing produces a slightly warmer, though slightly less projecting, instrument, which is what most archtop players seem to prefer these days.
