Wow, bet that sounds wonderful!
I don’t know if is the case with your guitar but it seemed to sound very like the best Martins I had tried - ime really good Martins are few and far between.
Are you enjoying your Collings? I bought one recently and love it! Two great makes for sure that seem to really care about what they are doing and I think this comes across in the way they make their instruments and their approach to the woods used.

As you say these small workshops seem to be far less likely to let a bad/mediocre guitar leave their factory than the bigger brands. I tried 4 Collings of various ages before buying mine and they were all very consistent.
(Actually, please no... I've sickened myself with GAS - hope the OP has long & fruitful music sessions with his new instrument)
How many acoustics do you have, out of interest?

Too many... All Larrivee acoustics (OM02, om05, OM-03BH, p-03, and an L-05 which is for sale as prefer smaller bodies). And a Suhr Pro S4 and PRS special edition.
Way too many and yet I've got a custom Halcyon due in a few years.
Would love to hear a clip of your guitar(s) but know it's not everybody's thing to do that

Oh, I got no problem with that. It's all good fun really!
I am very excited about your Halcyon guitar. I stumbled upon their parlour only recently. They are beautiful. Look forward to hearing that when you get it! Congrats!
Ditto again re the Dobro track, that is brilliant.. there's something very cool about getting a completely different type of acoustic instrument and not just always the same guitar with different woods.
Ooohhh did you get to try / hear one in person?
It's some years away - I might be going for quilted sapele with moon spruce or lutz top but it's up in the air right now.
My OM-02 is sitka / sapele so I sort of think I should get something different, but then the top will colour it differently...
Thanks for sharing (and let us know when you get a clip of that H13 !)
