Mahogany top, what bracing?
I am considering ordering a Martin CS D18 with a mahogany top. I was just going to order a standard D18 layout but with a mahogany top. Someone in another thread indicated that I should consider GE bracing. Since spruce responds differently to mahogany, would GE style bracing enhance this guitar, or is it likely to have minimal or negative impact?
Honestly, I like my D15 models, so it's not like I'm looking for something more like a GE (which I already own). So, what bracing would seem like the best option here?

Since it takes more to drive that top, and it’s stronger, personally I’d go with whatever is the lightest they offer; hoping it would be lively like an old Kalamazoo out of the box.
