Default Composite acoustic necks?

I love the neck on my Legacy and was wondering if it is similare to a Taylor neck? (the newer NT ones)

Anyone have both?

I have a CA Performer GX and a couple of Taylors. I'm not sure if the Performer has the same neck as the Legacy, but the Performer's neck is a tab wider than the Taylors. You feel it starting at around the 6th fret. At the 12th fret, the CA is 1/8" wider than the Taylors. It was an easy adjustment for me... and I love the CA. (I also love the Taylors.)

I have a Taylor 814c and a CA Cargo (with a CA GXi tobacco burst to arrive in about a week). I have also tried a CA 7M and 8M. I haven't taken any measurements, so purely from a 'feel' perspective, for all intents and purposes I find the CA neck feels like a Taylor neck. I very much like the necks.

I would echo Acousticado's comment. The two brands feel fairly similar.

When I had both, I had no problem switching back and forth.
