Thanks for your reply, I was really asking Skajango.
When I found Djangobooks I was looking for a 250M because I am working through the John Jorgenson books and DVDs. The 250M sounds great when he plays it, I thought it was the guitar to get.
I really wasn't prepared for what I've found here - this is like a guitar alternate universe - and I guess I'll start with a Cigano because of Mike's comments about the better neck angle and top arch. Those are familiar concepts I understand. It is just hard to believe that the cheaper, ugly guitar is better.
But it makes sense in this universe where high action, fat necks, and potsherds for picks are the way to go. I'm waiting for the Gypsy Picking book and a Wegen but I started trying it today with my usual scales and arpegios. It's like going back to short pants, but I know it is the key to speed in the long run.
Thanks again!
Paul
