What I do know, is that if money is tight and I'm about to become a father, and I'm about to get a small windfall, I wouldn't be worried about blowing all of it on an acoustic. Maybe get a $100 Epiphone or Yamaha and put the rest away for when baby needs something.

That's just me...And not being preachy--just what hit me when I re-read this.

I've been married over 20 years and an issue with an inlaw isn't worth $250.
On the other hand, if it isn't an issue...go play everything in your price range with your eyes closed and see which one feels and sounds best.
