Hi forum,

in the past year I became proud owner of a 2078 LTX made in USA and also a (VERY good priced) Adamas 2087 GT.
The difference in sound is clearly remarkable even though I am not shure if I would go for the Adamas if I had to pay the full price.

Now to my "problem" (I am ashamed to have such a "problem"):
I would like to complete my Ovation family with a 12 string.

Option 1 (I have one offered to me):
2058 TX
+ I REALLY like the design of the TX models and fits to my 2078
+ Deep Bowl (!!!)
- Made in Korea (not China)
- Will this sound like my 2078 USA-made or is there a strong quality drop in sound USA vs. Korea?

Option 2 (there is also one offered to me):
Adamas 1598 ME
+ Well, it's an Adamas so it should sound better, right?!?
- Price
- Mid-Bowl

Does anybody have comments or even suggestions?
Has anyone played both models and can compare the sounds?
I am a bit scared that the Adamas lacks sound because of being only Mid-Bowl and is not really worth the additional money.

Thanks a lot in advance!!

P.S. What do I have to do to become a "normal" forum user and post in other forums than the Welcome Center?
