I really couldn't hear any differences . The price of the Martin though, bid difference. I wish he had mentioned the playability though.
That could be kinda subjective depending on your preference of neck profile. If that D4's anything like my D25, it's got what I think they called the "flattened oval" profile, which feels very slim. Fender actually defined several different neck profiles in their '01 "Frontline' catalog, but I always forget what the specific names were.
THe D40's definitely got more of a "D" profile. It toook me a long time to realize that's why it felt so different from the '25, but I'm used to it now.
