I can't give you any reason or evidence. Just based on my experience trying out many Martin guitars, for some reason the high-end Martins are more consistent than the cheaper models, Standard series included.
The 1 and 16 series are a bit of a crapshoot (though not nearly as bad as, say, Epiphone Masterbilt). The 20's and 30's Standard series are more consistent, although you'll still find a few duds. The 40's series, Vintage, GE, Marquis are almost always good (one notable exception is the Clapton 000-28EC... 50% of people think it's pretty consistent, the other 50% think otherwise).
