A friend of mine works at National. Every year he gets to build a personal guitar to take home. Each one is different and all sound great.
I would go to a shop with many different models, put on a blindfold, and have each one handed to me. Whichever sounded and felt right would be the one I-would get. This technique worked for me when buying my first Santa Cruz OM. I played six guitars blind and went home with the one I liked the best.

Just got to figure out how to get a job there. Three years should cover it.

Know nothing about the resorocket - doesn't appeal to me.I had a Style "O" but too loud and too heavy.
El Trovador is nice but only 1 & 3/42 nut width. Estralita is similar with 1 & 13/16" nut. Even though these are laminated wood bodies they are LOUD! You don't need cutaways - plenty of notes for slide between nut and 12th.

I used to own a Radiotone Bendaway with a cutaway. I also own an Epiphone ES-175. I don't find cutaways on acoustic depth guitars that useful. I end up taking my thumb off the neck to get up high anyway.

I find that I only really go there consistently with some Elmore James style stuff and some Hawaiian tunes. All that "Dust My Broom" twelfth fret stuff will often just cry out from some 15th and 17th fret stuff for me. Again. I'm not barring full chords. Just the first two strings. And yes a sour 17th fret note will give you bitter beer face. But I will say I never capo up regardless of the original recording because I don't want to make it a mandatory move. I will capo if I'm having a hard time hearing a dusty old recording for learning the song. I once saw a transcription that called for tuning down a whole step, and then capoing at the first fret Yeah. I'm not going there.
