Default Opinions - Rainsong H or S Dred

Love to get your opinion

Was only able to try the H-WN1000N2 and it sounded good, something I can live with for the convenience of Car travel, but I prefer a Dred body.
Not concerned about the finish, so is the S-DR1000N2 with the mate finish the exact same guitar as the H-dr1000N2 with the Gloss finish. How do they sound compared to the H-WN

IS the CO line worth the extra cash - Is it warmer and more wood like.

I will go with out the pick up and install a K&K Mini - Mic combo
Most likely trade my D-18 for it...... It does not get played as the much as the rest of the heard

I'd go with the H. It has a nicer feel and includes a hardshell case as well...

What do you mean "it has a Nicer feel". Are referring to the back of the neck?

I have several dread cases so that is not a selling point.

I went with the H-DR1100 N2 and am very happy to have done so. Your arm moves (mine does, anyway) - over the top lower bout of the guitar while playing. The polished surface of the H is resistant to marking or more importantly, NOISE. If you don't mind the scraping sound being picked up by the K&K, then it's not a issue. Smudges from curious children wipe off with a damp cloth or even with Windex if needed!
