I love my Taylors, and I can't find fault in Powers' moves so far. I own a 716ce (non V-Class) that is from the Powers re-voicing of that series (which in that case mainly consisted of switching from Sitka to Lutz Spruce for the top) and I love it to pieces, definitely my nicest acoustic.I’ve heard a couple with the new bracing and it seemed better in every way. Higher notes definitely right out and sustain better. Projection was great. Guy I work with got a Koa 12 string with it and that thing sounds glorious!
As for the V-Class bracing, last year while at my favorite shop I got to spend some time with a 714ce LTD with a Sinker Redwood top and V-Class bracing and I was highly impressed. It was very lively and super resonant for a orchestra-bodied acoustic.
