Setup and action

I would like to know who trustworthy it is to buy an Ovation without ever having played it or seen it, besides pictures of it. I am thinking of buying a never-used Ovation Balladeer 4771-1, non-cutaway, deep bowl produced in 2001 (if I am not mistaken)from a guitar shop in the UK for around 700 hundred dollars and wonder if it is a big mistake to buy the guitar without viewing or if I can buy it with some confidence. Your feedback would be really appreciated! Thanks! PS. I have an Ibanez Artwood (solid sitka top), do you think that the Ovation Balladeer is better?

I find even if you do buy it in a shop after seeing it and touching it, I have to make some adjustments myself anyways.
