I tried to buy the Guild last week - I rang on Weds and asked if there was any chance of movement on price. The guy seemed nice enough, and said he'd see what they could do and ring me back. I chased again before closing on Weds, then Fri morning, and got 'ah, you spoke to my colleague - I'll leave a not for him to ring you back', but never did. Then I tried one last time on Friday afternoon, and they told me it had sold on Thursday. Not sure why it still shows as 'in stock' on the site.
Thanks for the advice all - I think I'd like to have something that small with a short scale, but I'm also pretty happy to wait until I come across something else that appeals. All the suggestions I got were pretty helpful in illustrating that when it comes to guitars I like (I like them all, but one I'd buy, since I have to choose), I'll pretty much know it when I see it.
Update on the little acoustic:
