Re: Choosing the right beginner mandolin
Most importantly is that the instrument come well set up so it is comfortable to play and intonates correctly and holds tune.
Solid wood or laminate for a just getting started doesn't really make a real difference. You likely won't be pulling killer tone out right away anyway (also, Paul Prespotino from Peter Paul and Mary plays a Stradolin mandolin which is pretty darn modest!).
That Kentucky will come well set up and serve you excellently for years. Enjoy!
