I have had two different T5's a Cocobolo ltd which i sold to buy my first Taylor acoustic guitar and i still have a Koa T5.
coldshot,
Both of those T5's look really good. I bet it was difficult to let one go. But, you got your first Taylor acoustic which is not a bad thing at all. And looking at your signature, it is obvious you have a great stable of instruments 
G day Tom,
I originally bought the Koa T5 for a mate of mine who loved my Cocobolo T5 and had helped me out with some work on my house and wouldn't acept any money.
He point blank refused to take it home, although he played it regularly at my place, i bought it on a intrest free deal for two years so i didn't really miss paying it off each month, worked out about a case of beer a week.
I sold the Cocobolo T5 back to the store where I bought the Koa one, and paid a little extra for my first taylor acoustic, an 810 ce.
It was hard to choose betwwen the two, but the Cocobolo T5 was worth more as a resale to the guitar store.
The T5's were my first Taylor experiance and I have to admit I love the tone and playability of Taylors very much now.
