The $300.00 Epiphone guitars

Hi People,
I have the Epiphone humming bird and the Dove pro.
For more then a week hanging on the wall I knew something was different so Last night I measured the top of the bridge the the bottom of the sound hole.
The Dove has the bridge mounted an inch and 1/8th farther down from the sound hole to the bridge compared to the humming bird pro.
I also found that the Dove sounds better and it's the one I always grab.
It's a bit louder and rings out the strings nice when just finger picking.
Finger picking with the humming bird,I have to hammer the strings harder.
Could that inch and an 8th make that much difference?

An extra inch or inch and a quarter can make all the difference in the world. It may take you places that you've never been before, in a musical sense of course...

Thanks so much for responding.
