FOOTNOTE: Sweetwater has an exclusive run of the AX40 which uses Jabon wood for the body instead of Poplar which is used on the new AX50. The Sweetwater exclusive comes with 2 color options and also has a lower price than the AX50. Pre-orders are currently happening with an expected ship date in February

Is this a better deal than the EVH at Adorama? I'm guessing not but not familiar with the hierarchy of all these models.
