It is really all about which guitar you like better. I think they are in the same ballpark for what they are worth.

Agree. Maybe see if he'd let you test drive the DGT for a bit. The only down side I see is that you might find the DGT having more in common with your S2's considering the build and electronics, so you might lose some versatility.
"So you're saying it's time for a philosophical discussion?"
"I'm afraid so."
"Are you gonna rhetorically ask what musical styles can't be played on a DGT?"
"I thought I'd start with that and work my way to other thoughts."
"I'll bet next you're gonna observe that versatility is in the player, not the guitar."
"I was planning that."
"But then - so as not to offend anyone's sensitivities or sensibilities - you're gonna say, 'on the other hand, every player is different and we all have different ideas about what we need to do the job of making music', right?"
"You know me well."
"Antoninus, let me draw the analogy that some people like snails, some people like oysters, and some people like both snails and oysters (not that there's anything wrong with that). So there's no point in making any judgmental statements about snail-eaters or oyster-eaters at all, is there? I mean, you're admitting that everyone is as right as you are."
"It can be so argued, Master."
"Very wishy-washy of you, Antoninus."
"So you're saying that perhaps I need some military training from a bunch o' gladiators to stiffen my resolve, Master?"
"Antoninus, your resolve isn't the only thing that needs stiffening."

Correct answer!

Why does it have to be an OR? The correct answer is always both. People need to learn how to use the word AND more.
Buuzzzzzztttt!
"Accordion."
"Correct, Laz! Now on to our bonus round. This 14th Century king of England caused a civil war and was removed from the throne."
"Who was Edward II."
"Buuuzzzzztt...Laz?"
"Who was Edward, the Accordionist?"
"Correct!"
"This humorist asked, 'Would you rather be a pencil or a Q-tip? Bodia, it's your turn."
"Paul Reed Smith?"
Buuuuzzzzzttt!
"Laz?"
"Lawrence Welk."
"Correct!"
"This famous TV mom said, "Bud, I think something's wrong with the Beaver. Bodia?"
"Lucille Ball?"
Buuuuuzzzzzttt!
"Laz?"
"Brides Accordion Band."
"Correct! Have we got a clip?"
"Sure. Let's watch to the end to see the little kids they've led astray with accordions!"

A quote from someone who can't sing, and does.
All too soon people will be asking...
"What was a guitar?"
"I've heard it was an instrument that actual humans played before there was AI."
"What did it sound like?"
"No one really knows for sure. I've heard it was terribly distorted and overly loud. People didn't mind very distorted, loud sounds a long time ago, because they didn't live to be 500 years old like we do, so they didn't need to take care of their hearing. No one wants 450 years of tinnitus now."

Applies to pilots too, but for slightly different reasons.

I know I was paraphrasing, badly haha.
Interesting accordion fact; I'll let you draw your own conclusions about how this relates to other musical instruments:
For quite some time now, most traditional bellows-operated accordions, even many high priced ones, have had machine-made free resonating reeds (accordions create sound by blowing air through free resonating reeds). There are hundreds of wooden and metal parts in an accordion, and it takes a long time to hand make these reeds.
However, in the old days, the reeds were all built by hand. Hand-built reeds that are well made produce louder and more resonant tones. Apparently only a highly trained craftsperson can do all the little tweaks needed to free up the tone of each reed. In fact, it's a craftsman/apprentice training that's often passed from father to son.
I'd say father or mother to daughter, but women are apparently too smart to bother learning how to make accordions, which, let's face it, isn't exactly a growth industry!
If you were crazy enough (like me) to occasionally go to listen to demos of expensive accordions, the difference is very pronounced between these instruments and the machine made products.
A high end accordion with hand built reeds takes a long time to make, and they sell in the range of $10,000 and up.
"What kind of lunatic would spend Private Stock money on a freaking accordion?"
"Ever ask an accordion player to show you their accordion collection?"
"No."
"That's because there are no accordion collectors. So accordionists can lavish the entire accordion budget on one instrument instead of feeling compelled to pile up wood like guitar players do."
"Why's that?"
"Accordion playing is a highly dangerous, blood sport. To play one accordion is to put your life at risk. To own more than one is asking for much more trouble than anyone wants."
"Alnus said there are no old, bold accordion players. Is it because bystanders shoot them?"
"No, it's because other accordion players cut their heads off in duels. There can be only one!"

Be sure to play the DGT SE. I had a core DGT and finally gave up on the thin neck. It's much narrower than any other PRS neck Low E to High E. I just found it too cramped for me. Good Hunting.
