I've got a Jasmine S35 and it's not a half-bad guitar for the price. Definitely not a "big" sound, but the action is pretty decent and it plays well. The tuners are cheesy and I'm sure you'd definitely get a much richer sound out of a Taylor, Tak or Seagull - but IMO the Jasmine isn't down to the level of some of the low-end guitars found in starter packs. I bought it as more or less of a "starter" acoustic, and one that I won't be afraid to take camping, traveling, etc. - if I ding it up it won't worry me as much as if it were a high-end guitar.
Overall though, I'd say that if you have the money to spend, you'd probably like one of your other choices better.....especially if the acoustic is going to be your main guitar.
