I built a longscale maccaferri with resonator( i definately wanted it to have one)
and i can say it is very loud,and has a great balance and tone.
The resonator compensates for the too big soundhole and gives the guitar that old singing sound.I had several d-holes without resonator (Ibanez,moustache) and thay where only loud till a few feat away,then the sound was gone,also very uneven especailly the low B note.
With the resonator the sound projects really far.
I love that sound.making a second one now.
Once it is ready i will post it on facebook.
I think Django picked the ovalhole for the longer scale and 14 frets and he could pick any guitar he wanted.

I'd love to hear that guitar, Rino.
