Thanks, that was my take-away point from the experience.
Also, to address the criticism of my time spent with the instruments, it was a full hour in an otherwise empty room. I'd call an hour alternating between a handful of instruments sufficient to get a sense of their tone and responsiveness. Yes, I would have spent more time with a specific guitar if I was considering purchasing it, putting it through every musical test I could think of, but the differences between these guitars and the handbuilt instruments I have played was so stark that it did not require more than an hour to be apparent.
