Martin LXRE is also known as a "little Martin." Because of its size, it is a great couch playing, travel, beach playing guitar.
The D-42 is a full-sized guitar. Different beast entirely.
both are great guitars, it depends on what you need.
Martin makes an excellent product.
I'd also suggest watching YouTube videos that highlight each of these guitars.
