Location: San Francisco, CA | Can someone tell me the difference(s) between the Ovation C2079LX-5 Custom Legend and the C779LX Custom Legend?
Is one more desirable than the other?
Please list all pros and cons.
Many thanks!

Location: Brisbane Australia | 2079LX is contour bowl the C779LX is standard mid depth bowl.
I like the contour bowl on my 2071LX Balladeer.
My 2 CLs are deep bowls......and older.

Location: Brisbane Australia | I should have said the 2079LX is deep contour bowl.
I would assume that the 2079 will be probably a bit louder and more bassy because of the deeper bowl, that's acoustically.
Plugged in I would think pretty much the same.
I have no direct experience of these models.

Location: GATLINBURG TENNESSEE :) | I've had all three of the CL bowl depths and to me the deeper bowl the fuller the sound.(Unplugged) ... I like the mid also, but not as much as the deep bowl. If you're going to play plugged in a lot, your electronics can usually make up for the lack of bass in the others, or for that matter, you can shape the sound the way you want it. |

I've been looking at a 779CL and 2079CL at really LOW prices on eBay and wondering if I should pounce. However, I would only be playing these instruments plugged-in, not unplugged.
From the info above, it sounds like my 1990 Model 1869CL will deliver about the same sonic goods plugged-in.
