First, the difference between the species is not as great as the difference between the individual pieces and the makers. Meaning, lots of overlap, so to speak in generalities is fine but does not necessarily bring you to your guitar wants.

Agreed 100%. Think about the differences in good examples of sitka-topped dread size guitars from say Gibson, Martin and Taylor. Apples, oranges and bananas. The generalized description of the tonal differences between spruces would be most apt when comparing the same builder/model with those tops. Even then, not every individual guitar of the same builder/model with a given type spruce top will be the same. Natural materials vary. Mother Earth has her ways...
