I am currently debating the purchase of either a Msa classic d10 with 8 and 5 , or a simmons Genesis sd10 3 and 4 that are both pretty equally priced. Obviously the d10 has a c6th neck, but which guitar is the better playng, sounding, and more valuable guitar? I believe that the simmons is pull release. Not sure of the msa, figured it would be all pull.
What are your thoughts? Thank you so much!

Right. the MSA is an all-pull, and will be easier to tinker on, should you so desire.
I played a Simmons, albeit one that Bob said "I never should have built, the customer was a goofball." The guitar had 6 pedals, no knees, and each pedal moved 1 string.
Like all pull-release guitars, it had great tone.
Personally, I'd go for the D-10, but I love the C6th stuff.
Pull-release will be harder to find knowledgeable repair folks.
I'd say slight edge to the MSA, but only slight.
They're cantankerous to learn to tune, but I like pull-release tone.

Thanks a lot! I have experience with all pull guitars so tuning shouldn't be an issue. I can't wait to play with some c6 licks.
