I'll preface this by saying I AM NOT an acoustic guy. I know little to nothing about them. I decided I'd like one around the house to fool around with, maybe to get my Jason Mraz on 
Anyway I set off with the intent of looking into the Taylor 210/310 CE series as I'd heard very good things about them. When I walked into the acoustic room at one of our local stores the Seagull was the first thing to catch my eye. Picked it up and strummed a few chords, sounded great, felt great, really nice neck, looked great, hmmmm!
I proceeded to work my way through a bunch of Taylors, all prices, and Guild, Yamaha, Parker, Art & Lutherie, other Seagulls, you get the picture. Kept coming back to this little beauty. It has a very full warm sound that really appeals to me. Lower end Taylors sounded thin and weak to me, by comparison. Just my opinion, before you Taylor guys gang up on me I preferred the neck on the Seagull also. Needless to say it came home with me. A few pics:
