If both guitars have pickups, some important info might be found in the Acoustic Amplification forum.

Unplugged, and other than a straight neck and the action level that you want, either one should represent well with the right strings.

The Tak has a solid rosewood back (laminate sides), the Rod looks to be laminate back and sides. The Tak has a truss rod, I don't think the Rod does.
I can't find pricing on the Rod, I assume they are close, price wise. I have owned Taks in the past, good guitars with really good electronics, never owned or played a Rodriguez....so, I'm no help

I owned a Takamine 32 classical guitar for a while. My left hand hated that wide fat neck. Selling it was the best move I made.

The Tak 132 has a deep neck, the beefiest neck I can recall having played.
