The action measurements don't necessarily tell you anything about the neck angle. The neck could be off, and the saddle barely peeking out from the slot on the bridge, with those measurements.

That's not to imply there's anything wrong with the neck. If it's 4 years old, left the factory with good geometry, and was kept in a reasonable environment... it's probably fine. If you also knew the string height off the soundboard (at the bridge), you would have a lot better idea about the neck.

Martins sound fine on average. Sure there are a few great ones and a few "meh" ones, but you should know what you're getting for the most part if you have played a few D35's.
