I was leaning towards getting a Taylor 310 or 314 CE before I ended up with my Seagull. The 200 and 100 series Taylors sounded okay (not fantastic), but didn't have as nice a neck as the 300 series. The 314 was wider than the 114 or 214 and had a different joint at the headstock. The 314 was also over $1000 so I took my time and thought about it.

Taylors are bright sounding, but if you plug them in with a band they sound good, they fit in nicely in the mix and don't get washed out.

When I sat down and played the Seagull in the store, the choice was obvious. The sound, the feel and the price were just too good, it was a no-brainer. I bought the Seagull.
