Default Economy Martin 00-18 - Sigma 000MC-1STE?

I really want a little finger picking guitar - but can't really shell out $2200 for a Martin 00-18. Some have suggested the Blueridge Historic series - but they're close to a grand in Canada.... In a local store I found a beat up Sigma GCS-1 - it was the right size and shape - but clearly a starter guitar - all Laminate - it played well but sounded like a small plywood box. It was tattered and covered with kids stickers - no pickup - for $200. Steep for it's condition.

I found these - the Sigma 000MC-1STE - on Canadian Ebay (local enough to me to avoid brokerage fee's).

Has anyone tried one of these? How do they compare to Alvarez's Chinese line?
