I like the use of the JLD Bridge Truss system in the Breedloves. Their claim is that it transfers the tension away from the top wood allowing it to relax and be more resonant. I don't know if this is a big effect or not but I can attest that the sustain is the best I have heard on the 600 price range guitars. I'm getting the Breedlove AD20SM and it has the best of both worlds for me, nice bright sound and warm lows. This model is not concert body and is a couple hundred more than the Breedlove you mention but you may want to give it a whirl. Also has a solid Mahogony back as opposed to the laminate on the AC you mention.
