There's also a very scary movie that features Bob and Chris Martin regarding,the state of Sitka Spruce. It's called "Musicwood." I purchased my copy on iTunes about 4 months ago.
Watch that and you will see that our kids may think of Sitka Spruce the way we now think of Brazilian Rosewood.

It's still laminate back and sides, correct? Besides cosmetic, how much difference would the koa veneer make?

Yup laminate b&s. According to the guys at Taylor the laminate woods also can have an impact on tone. No certain how much as cpmpared to solid.

You can see the laminations from the side of the guitar and the outside wood layer is close to paper thin. I doubt you'll hear any more difference in different back/side woods as you'll hear in several examples of the same model. The spruce/hog/koa tops will sound different obviously.

Taylor says rosewood vs koa vs whatever laminate on the side and back of GS Minis are not different sonically. The solid tops are another matter.
