You're not going to find someone who's going to tell you exactly what guitar to buy, and if someone does, please don't listen to them, because they're are more than likely feeding you BS! That goes for salesmen too. You are going to have to play them both to figure out which one is right for you. If there's no chance of being able to play the other guitar, then you will have to make the decision whether or not to chance it or not on your own. If that's the way it must be, I believe with all the posts about it, you should have enough information to make an educated guess.

Choose wisely young grasshopper...
