Both are beautiful, I own that same showcase and a Martin as well! I also enjoy your playing but…I think a better comparison would be between the Simon and Patrick Showcase with Mahogany back and sides to a Martin D18 as they share the same wood! The D28 is Rosewood which I find to be darker and more tonal whereas the S&P with Mahogany is brighter and more crisp! Both great guitars but different!

The S&P has a more woody tone than the Martin. I prefer the Marin here, but not kicking the S&P out of the bed, brother man 👍
