Sounds pretty good to me.
Can you compare the playability of the Lowden with the GS Mini? I realise the 12 fret difference may make it difficult, but my experience with the GSme is that I don't find it that comfortable to play. I've changed the strings to Custom Lights and it's a little better but I'm guessing I don't play it enough. When I do pick it up, it's usually straight after playing an 812 or a 614 and, obviously, it's a bit different!
