That's true, Howard, but the bracing underneath the top IS different for the Standard Series Martins and these other less expensive Martin lines. That can have some minor effect on the tone.
Fob Dylan, before you do anything else, get a fresh set of strings on the guitar, and see whether you like it better then. If the original strings are still on there, you really don't yet have an accurate idea of how the guitar truly sounds.
If you still don't like it then, maybe a return can be justified.
But don't judge it based on how it sounds with old strings, even if they still look okay. Put a fresh set on and then make your decision.
Hope this helps.
