My personal opinion is that FOR ME, they do not play as easy as a Taylor, but tone wise they are great. I have no experience with that particular model though.
My 456ce is EIR back and sides. Perhaps if you are after rosewood, you could look for a similar one. Taylor has put EIR on lower series limited editions multiple times in the past. In fact there is such thing as a 455Rce which was a limited 12 string jumbo with sitka over EIR...
That way you can get everything you desire.
