Hmmm, that would not be my assessment of the Shorty at all. Maybe in comparison to other CF makes and models, but not in comparison to any wood acoustic I've ever played (and I've played a lot). In fact, the
clarity of the Shorty is one of the reasons I love mine so much.
I do admit I'm ignorant on how the full carbon OM sounds since I've not played one, but part of the appeal of the Shorty was the mellower voicing and the price (which had dropped even more for those entering late into the market). I did play a classic Jumbo RS though with the N1 neck, and even though it sounded glorious, it didn't grab me like the tone of the Shorty.
Could it be that you miss the tone of the sheer size of the WS more than the smaller OM size even before construction is concerned? Not trying to assume anything, just an observation- but you certainly would know better than me.
