A couple of quick things:

1) AFAIK, the Cargo has a unique scale length (coupled with it's body size) for this kind of guitar, and you may want to get further informed on what this might mean to you, as a player.

2) The neck-angle issues I have mentioned here on the Cargo impact the set-up of the guitar, although most of the guitars with this "problem" (as I see it) are certainly "playable." Once again, this is an issue that you will have to decide on, and you may want to lay your hands on any of the intrments you mention to see what the impact might be for you (again), as the player.

I have no hands-on knowledge of the other carbon fiber guitars you mention, so i cannot shed any light on structural or set-up issues with them. You might want to peek in on the MacNichol forums to discuss the other CF guitars.
