Taylor's lower end guitars are much better than martins but if I'm going the high end route then I'm going with Martin

For me it depends on the shape, sound and tone woods you're going for. A full-bodied Martin HD-28 is going to bring something entirely different to the table than a Taylor 512ce. Are you fingerpicking? Do you prefer a short scale neck? Depending on what you actually want would determine which offerings from various brands you're looking for.

I've owned Martins, Guilds, Taylors, and various classicals. Probably the best instrument I ever owned was a Guild DV-52. I would take that one over the Martin HD-28 and the Taylor 512ce I owned any day of the week. The sound, for what I was playing at the time, was superb.

As for now I'm saving up for a Jose Ramirez classical.
