I've played the new Martin D-18 and love it. I've also got my eye on a used Santa Cruz Tony Rice, but I've never played one and can't play the one I'm considering (not an easy guitar to find where I live).

Would anyone who has played both of these guitars be willing to share your thoughts? I'd be playing primarily bluegrass/appalachian-style stuff on whichever I choose.

Thanks for the help.
