Rainsong model comparison question

I'm not sure how he does it but Alistair of Emerald has mentioned that he imparts a slight convex shape to his Emerald tops. This is something I wish RainSong would try to incorporate in their build process. In comparison, I've noticed Composite Acoustic tops are usually very flat across the top.

I guess it might come down to, optimizing a CF guitar design to look like a healthy wooden guitar (slightly arched top with a small bulge behind the bridge), or optimizing it for tone/volume/price.
