That's pretty much my observation based upon the limited number of either brands I've played. I own an Eastman and owned two Larrivees.
My Eastman is among those with a fragile finish. Still, I bought it as NOS for an excellent price in early '09.
If I could have my desire, it would be the Larrivee L's sound in a Larrivee OM body. My Eastman OM satisfies my ear better than a Larrivee OM because it has more of the bass that a Larrivee L offers.
