Eastman mandolins are by far the best value these days. They're not the cheapest, but considering the quality you get, they are well worth the price. This is my opinion of course, but it is shared by many.

The only problem I ever saw with regards to a Seagull with a bolt on neck occured to a guitar that had been left in the back of a truck in -20 weather.

The heel cracked right in line with one of the bolt anchors.
