I've seen both but never played them. The T5's look so nice though. It was locked up in a case at the store I visited. But yeah, I picked my Big Baby up for like 425 USD. It's probably one of the best deals I can think of. There are other good guitars that are under a grand but I have 2 other acoustics (Ovation Celebrity 12-string A/E and a Washburn Cumberland Jumbo A/E) so I just wanted something to strum around the house and stuff.
