Default Eastman Frets

Are the frets on an Eastman (AR810CE in particular) considered regular or somewhat jumbo? And how might they compare to the frets on my Martin OM15?
Thanks!

My AR810CE frets are bigger than my Fender mediums but not the big squared of frets of my Les Paul. I really like them - except that the fret job was awful when I bought the guitar new. The tech from my dealer made them OK but I had to go to a proper luthier to get them to be really good. At least the neck is straight and stable.

Martin: 80 X 37
Godin/Seagull: 83 X 39
Gibson: 97 X 37
Eastman: 106 X 36 (Dunlop 6130) on slopes & 80 X 43 on OMs
