Although I find these what's better videos entertaining, I think they always have proponents of all the possibilities. Just as a modern recreation is different from the real thing, so are guitars brand to brand. The only way you will ever know is to get your hands on all the suspects. Decide for yourself. There will always be people that will tell you none of them, what you need is a D 18.
I have not played an Atkin. I've enjoyed every IRIS I played, and the banner recreations from Gibson are fine guitars. You could probably be happy with any if you liked the neck.
