I can relate because I fell for a used Martin over same model new and I played 4 new and used of same model within 24 hours of buying it so I know the better tone was not my imagination.

I suppose I should agree with or keep in mind the "can scarcely imagine buying another" because anything other than what I have now would be diminishing returns for what would be spent.

The used aspect is also nice because I have been doing 1-2 public jams with it a week and I just play it and keep it clean and figure its job is to make all the loud Martin tone it can and I don't worry about the first scratch like some do.
