I'm satisfied with my 210e DLX ES2.

This one has my vote for the best in the 1xx/2xx line.

In fact, I went to a roadshow last week hoping to pick one up, but alas, they had none available. On the other hand, they had an AMAZING deal on an 812ce 12 fret that I couldn't pass up (I believe because it was a 2014 model)

Yes, the 812ce 12 fret is quite a bit higher in price, than the 214ce-K DLX, but the deal I got was SMOKIN' so it was hard to pass up. If not for that, I would still be eyeing the Koa 214 as they look, sound and play, just amazingly well.

You forgot the 150e. That would be my vote.

I far prefer the red pickguards to the black. Hmmm maybe if I'm lucky I can score a nice used Taylor for a mere bag of shells because of this.

150e for me. I can't see myself spending a lot for a 12 string and the ones I've played were pretty good bangs for the buck.

I had a nice 110ce for a while, no complaints...but I have a D-28 dread, and was in the market for something a little different in the Taylor line...

I was at Dick's Music in upstate NY in July, and traded the 110ce for a new 214...I really didn't need a cutaway or electronics, and I like the size, the tone, and everything about it...it does everything well, and I don't worry so much about it as I do my Martin & Gibson...nice porch swing guitar...

I played a 150e a few weeks ago and thought it was pretty awesome.

The best bang for buck in the Taylor lineup was the all-solid, made-in-the-USA 210. Mine turns 10 this year and sounds even better than it did the day I bought it.

If I were buying a Taylor now, I'd probably either go with the 100 series or save/spend a bit more to get up to the 300 series.

Cool

I've got a 2010 210e that is a pretty sweet playing guitar. I guess that would be my vote!

As I've said in other posts , I bought this as a "travel" guitar , but I find myself picking it up a lot . I think this is a great guitar.
