AFAIK best selection of used Martins is usually at Frailers in Runcorn, I've seen people turn up there on the train from London to buy a Martin.
Check the stock before going, since he hasn't been able to import rosewood marting from the US for a while

I imcluded a CEO-7 this time too on account of the one in the classifieds.
The CEO-7 is brilliant. Looks gorgeous, outstanding finish, and sounds proper. I could own of those for sure.
The Gibson L00 Studio also looks brilliant. Less awesome sounds being (for my taste) than the CEO-7 with plectrum or strummed, nicer with fingers, a bit.
The Eastman E100SSLtd fell.further behind on 2nd try But this was also in part due to high nut and saddle, which accentuated the feeling of the narrower string spacing . But anyway the plectrum.siubd was great but the fingers found it a lot less responsive than the others. Adi top at work maybe?
The 00-17S is the least sexy looking, most bass-light (I usually like a whump) but there's this brilliant thing it does with fingers that just makes every string sound the same volume - in a way I like. And it still sounds good with plectrum/strummy-singy stuff.
So I got it.
Good thread this, very much the sort of thing I'll be thinking about next time I get the acoustic GAS bug
