Thinking about a Taylor

I've only given them a test drive at my local store, but I'm always impressed by the tone of it and even the 210's I've tried. I prefer the 1-3/4` nut width so it`s not one that I would consider for myself, but with body dimensions close to a dread but a narrower waist to sit better on your knee it just might fill the dread-tone void your looking for.

I'm also considering a '14 body..... I'm usually a big body sort, but thinking about either a '16 or a '14. I don't really want to lose on low end or volume, but perhaps could get into something with a little smaller body than my 418e. The question between the '14 and the '16 is the difference in sound - the '14 is designed for light strings, the '16 for mediums.
I've kind of already decided to cave to my long standing desire for a rosewood body guitar, so I think I'm deciding between a 400 and a 700 series...... a friend of mine recently bought a 114e. It's a great player, and really sounds good. I haven't played it enough to give a good comparison to my 418e, and he plays a much different style than I do. He is actually mainly a lead electric guitar player, and I'm mainly a flatpicker who to this point has never owned an electric guitar. So I can't really use that guitar to help make up my mind.

I personally like the GA (14) style bodies as well.  I'm considering a 114e right now myself.  Originally wanted a mini jumbo from Seagull, but the GA is just slightly smaller, but still bigger than the folks and has that "just right" feel as far as size goes.

The only thing I'm still testing and considering is the nut width.  Gotta be sure I can live with it.  So far, it's pretty nice.  Taylor's 1 11/16" nuts just don't feel as narrow as the rest which is weird but nice.  Even the 1.72" nuts from Godin feel narrower than the 1.69s from Taylor.

Is that just me or does anyone else find or "feel" this to be true as well?
