For acoustic I would choose the Yamaha over the others, especially Fender. I have heard nothing but great things about the FG800 so I would assume the acoustic electric would be just as good. As someone else said though the best way would be to sit down with each and see how they feel both physically and sonically. I would focus on how the neck feels to you and which one feels more comfortable , then see how it sounds. If it doesnt feel comfortable to you it might never feel right. Each guitar even the same model can vary from one to the next. You might also add Washburn or Seagull or Eastman to the brands you looking at. I would say Taylor, but they are a step up in price.

Disclaimer: I have owned a Yamaha FG 460S for over 30 years and literally love the thing, I also own a Washburn EA 20 SNB which is is unique intrument. Both have their own unique feel and tone.
