The Taylor range - how much is it worth moving up the series range?

in Acoustics
Hi all,

Despite having some misgivings about the ES2 system (as Marmite as they come, it seems), I think Taylor is the right brand for an electric lead player dabbling with acoustic (and aspirations to return to songwriting) but I'm labouring over which series to go for. 

Is there much for in it with a 600 series over a 300? I'm thinking Grand Concert or Grand Auditorium size.

Thoughts welcome!

Ta!

    Personally I think the 300 range (the cheapest with all solid wood construction) is kind of the 'sweet' spot in the range. I tend to find the rosewood models (such as the 800 Series) too bright.

    The quality of construction and playability is beyond reproach at every price point.

    Thanks, @richardhomer - the 600 series is maple and apparently 'warm', which appeals.

    I've been using my 414Ce for years, I tried some upper range models since but can't justify the extra dollars for a slightly different sound....they are all very nice though !

    Good buy.  The new 600 series designed by Andy Powers are supposed to be excellent, darker in tonality than their previous inceptions.

    It was a 2015 model. I sent it back, due to a few marks on receipt.
