Well to be honest, I love the sound of the 814ce as is. I wasn't even looking for something in this price range and never, NEVER thought I'd spend such funds on one. But after playing it, I simply could not find a finer and more romantic sounding acoustic. Believe me, I tried, for hours..and hours. At the end of the day, I ruined myself by picking it up as everything else sounded inferior next to it. But I always enjoy and upgrade. So far the suggestions seem to be lateral movements to achieve a certain tone. For now I may just leave it as is.
