Default Larrivee all mahogany OM and Martin 00015m?

Has anyone compared a Larrivee call mahogany OM to a Martin 00015m? Just curious. I love my 00015 and I'm loving my new om 40r. I hear a lot of people talk about Larrivee's mahogany guitars spruce top and all hog. Any type of comparison would be helpful.
Thanks.

Compared to the all-mahogany Larrivee, the Martin 000-15M has better resale value.

Regardless of resale value, there some differences. I’ve owned both Martin and Larrivee all mahogany 000 sized guitars.

Martin 15 series deliver a warmer, more subtle sound. My Larrivee OOO 03 all mahogany was one of the best guitars I’ve ever had. The sound was warm and rich, but not as soft/woody as the Martin. I really regret letting that one go.

The Martins were fine, but I preferred the Larrivee, but I don’t get along with the flatter fretboard on them.
