Thanks for the opinions gang... I took another ride to our Guitar Center, and tried out the 310 with the ES.... It sounded good, but I think it is more brilliant sounding. Has more of that high-end sparkle which would sound better for strummers.I also tried a Taylor with the Fishman blender. It seemed a little deeper sounding, and offers more control. I think the Fishman is better for lead work and such... I think I'm gunna go with the Fishman....If anyone else has more comments about this please share them... Starr man
