I love my LX1. It sounds good (for a small laminate guitar), is easy to play because of its short scale, and can take a serious beating. Mine has gone on numerous camping trips. There have been times sitting by the campfire where people with full size guitars are weary about temp changes and rightly so as their guitars constantly go out of tune. Those same people are often very impressed with the sound of the little martin and that it is very stable on cold nights next to a fire. The thing is small enough that I have even checked mine inside its case and inside a larger duffle bag with clothing on a plane with little worries. It is a risk, but that is what I bought this guitar for and it has come out unscathed every time.
When I bought it, I tried out a few other similar guitars, and was not impressed by all the taylors I tried. I also noticed some of the little martins have some unwanted harmonic overtones due to the short scale and maybe a less than stellar nut. I had the store bring out a couple of them from the back to try out, you might want to see if you can try more than one.
