I haven't tried the reminagined ones but FWIW I loved the D28 I played in Guitar Village about 6 years ago, and I currently have a 2000-ish HD28 which is the second-best acoustic I've ever played (best was a late-40's D18..)
I do find the D-18 slightly more satisfying to play by myself - it has a warmer tone and seems to project the sound 'around' the guitar more, whereas the 28 tends to project it out 'forwards' more, so it can sound a little boomy and muffled to the player, even though it's punchier if you're listening to someone else play it - if that makes sense.
That said I haven't played more than a couple of these new varieties which I just lose track of...

Also worth a mention is the HD28vs. Modified V neck though so maybe not suitable

That left me confused so I left and dropped in on a secondhand guitar shop on D Street. They had a D18-GE in. Oh, wow! That was it. A few months later, I bought one.
Just over a year ago I picked up an OM28-RetroE, wow! Over the last year the 00-15 gets a lot of play at home as does the OM28 at church.
My point is this, there isn’t a right or perfect guitar which beats all comers in absolute terms, It really is in the ear of the listener or the guitar in your head. Although the guitar in my head is mahogany and I thought rosewood sounded ’wrong’ what I discovered is that both bring their own special contribution to the sound.
I would suggest you keep playing lots of instruments until you play the one that won’t let you leave until you buy it...
I see myself with a trio of acoustics eventually - something small and 00-ish, and something Gibson and probably mahogany flavoured.
