I'm looking to complement my Martin D-15 and E6-SS.
Greg, I have not A/B'd all of those guitars, but see my post from this morning on E1OMs. I just had to return a 2022, which allegedly had a torrefied top, and I compared it in the store with several other Eastman guitars, including a few models advertised as having thermo-cure/torrefied tops (sitka, not adi).
My advice to you, if at all possible, would be to get your hands on some of these models and try for yourself. Because in my case, my favourite of the bunch I tried, was a non-torrefied E1OM. You may come to a very different conclusion.
