I don't know how you made the D-16rgt decision (in-store, on-line?), but it always helps to play as many different styles in and above (slightly) your price range as possible so you can live comfortably with your final choice knowing what else is out there.
1. I wouldn't count on any guitar to open up (it might, probably will...) but who wants to wait years for this possibility anyway?
2. Now that you've heard what your guitar is missing, you may never be able to truly appreciate it. It's like any relationship wherein one party has disappointed the other, deservedly or not...might take a while to bond again, if ever.
3. Given #1 and #2, I would take it back and A/B as many as I could...bring your friend along too, an extra pair of ears always helps. And have him bring his D-15 as a baseline.
Good luck.
