You can get a d35 for about 1600, but in the price range you are talking about the d16rgt is great
ive never seen a d-35 for less than 2000, where have you seen it for less? (I'd love to have a d-35!)

I got mine at Nazareth Music (PA), not far from the factory and it was 1600. Great store, the owner opened on Saturday during the summer just so I could buy it

The D-16gt is pretty nice, the finish isn't as nice as the d-16rgt, but it still has the beautifully bold martin sound and I thinks it's about $950, but I want a D-16rgt :D

The factory is nice, it also gives you a new appreciation for guitars. Plus rooms and rooms filled with beautiful glossy rosewood.
