Hello guys, I'm looking for a small mahogany acoustic and I can't decide whether I go with the Parlor size or the Auditorium size. Please find some criterias and let me know your thoughts about which one would suit me better - I want the guitar to be easy to play in bed or on a couch - I don't want it to to be very loud, the purpose is to play it without disturbing wife and children (even when played with a pick) - I have a Dreadnought with spruce top and mahogany sides and back so I want my new guitar to be really different in terms of tone, as woody as possible for Delta blues I much prefer the CLA for its look and I tend to prefer narrower necks but is it much louder ? Is it confy to play ? Additional criteria, does the upgrade to the solidwood model worth it ? Thanks you very much for reading and helping me Go Harley Benton!

I have a CLP-15ME SolidWood and it's awesome, loude enough to get shouted at by the family when I get carried away. Really responsive for hammer ons and finger picking. Lovley mid range and silky smooth action. Tone is really mellow and I hear something new and magical every time I play it. It's become my favourite and if I could only have one it would be this one. Tuners are terrible and the finishing was a little bit rough with small grains of dust on the body.I appkied little light rubbing with very fine wire wool to removed it and brought out the satin finish beautifully. It's an absolute bargain for under £300.
The neck is also very easy to play and slightly wider than my BB taylor. It can get cramped from 5th fret with a capo.
