I've looked up the Martin guitars you suggested Trev. Very nice. And pricey. You get what you pay for, I know.
But, is there really a noticeable difference between a cheaper guitar with plugin processing and an expensive guitar in the hands of the same guitarist with the same mics, pres, converters etc etc? Depends on what you're looking for, I know. But do you think it's possible to get close to the "expensive" sound with something cheaper? Or does that require a lot of experience and practice?

I'm not a believer in plugin processing. You can't polish a turd and all that. The key to good recording and mixing IMO is do as little processing as possible. Catch the sound you want with the minimal signal path and let quality speak for itself.
Best bang for buck acoustic is the Black range. You can get a nice one for less than a hundred quid and they sound awesome. You gotta hand pick one though as the QC can be a little iffy (or budget for a setup on top). If you wanna hear one that's what I used in the SDC shootout thread.
