That was my exact experience, except mine is the mini-jumbo with QII. I just knew when I tried it that it was the one I was looking for.
About Larivees: the best acoustic that I've ever played was my friend's Larivee, with blend knob for bridge pickup and soundhole mic. Smoothest action ever. I forget the model. I tried lots of other Larivees in the store and couldn't find one as good.
One thing about Seagulls: try the neck first to make sure you like it, it's different from most other acoustics (probably why I liked it so much).
