You might want to check out the Martin Mini, great playing and sounding guitar. My son bought a Martin D-15 a little over a year ago and man is that thing starting to open up and boom. My D-18 seemed like it took a couple of years to "deepen'? The Mini can be had for around $300 and my son paid $600 for the D-15. I'm going to get myself a mini for my lunch breaks and travel. If possible you should go play everything before you buy. Size and Sound vary from maker to maker. The good thing with Martins is they don't lose value, so you can always trade up and not lose. They do have a economy line now that are not made of good wood, I'd stay clear of those.
But as usual, just my .02
