Sadly I'm in Manchester in the UK! Think there's only the odd one in the country right now.
Your reservations are understandable. I moved from a parlor to an OM so I'm going the other way.

I purchased a 2000 OM-21 two days ago in anticipation of parting with the 00-15SM. GAS is real.

Welcome to the 000-15 club. We all seem to be fanatics at this point. Understandably.

If you have more than a couple of guitars a 15 needs to be in there somewhere.

I have had one 000-15M and three 000-15Ses... My first slot head was a custom gloss model from Southpaw Guitars in Houston. Two 000-15SMLHs came from Dave's in LaCrosse. The most recent incarnation came last Thursday... Gotta try to hold onto the new one... one on the right...

Congrats on a great guitar. I love mine!

Congrats. I was considering picking this one up myself from my local shop, but someone snagged it before I did.
