Opinions of Art & Lutherie guitars?

Well, StreetMusic (AKA Dad) visited this past weekend and he and I were in the local store where I take lessons and were checking out some of the acoustic guitars they had. Dad already has a very nice Takamine, and I am yet to get an acoustic.

After looking at what they had in stock, I really found myself attracted to the Art & Lutherie guitars, especially the ones with a cedar top. Harmony Central has some very nice reviews. I know they're produced by Godin and seem to be quality guitars, but I was wondering if anyone has one and what you think of it.

The one I'm looking at is about $220. Fair price?

(I blame YOU Street!)

I've never had one but my local store has been carrying them or years and I've played plenty of them. I thought they sounded very good. Most had a satin finish. Some played better than others but nothing stood out as a red flag with any of them.
