For tone, a spruce top is usually preferred. C. F. Martin & Company specialized in those smaller 'chamber' sized guitars and mandolins, and only started making the larger dreadnought guitars later.

I don't have a Martin or a Taylor, but I do have a Washburn that plays and sounds VERY good. As many of you know, the bracing of the spruce top is most of the magic.
