Default need help deciding which one to buy

:::update....list no longer valid.....i want a martin Black smoke 17 now,,,,,,!!!!!!

sold my motorcycle and after paying bills have about 1200.00 to have something to show for giving up my bike.

my desires are all,over the place no pattern or logic and I really do not need another guitar.

do not have to spend the whole 1200.00 either....
so after exhaustive seaching the ads and locally here is my choice.
quality and resale value are important as well as sound and playability.

All choices are in as new condition

1. Gibson 2013 Lg2 american eagle.......$1000
2. Martin om1-gt with case ....$650
3. taylor 214ce sunburst .....$ 750
4. Martin Drednaught Jr........425
5. possibly, not sure yet, guy is thinking on it..martin ceo 7, $1200.00
6. martin grand performance cutaway sapele solid/spruce $800.00

which would you jump as on the smart buy.?

thanks for your time.

I would go to a guitar store or stores and play them all and find which one talks to you and buy that one

A ceo 7 for $1200 is a guitar that, if don't love, can
easily be sold for AT LEAST $1600 net net and would increase your buying power significantly.
