Re: Mandolin from New Zealand.
Looking at his website, it looks like his mandolins are flat topped and backed oval hole mandolins. This is MY preferred style. This will not sound like an Eastman arch topped/back mandolin with ff holes. Given my preferences I would spend the $NZ1450 on the Stuart over the $1000+ on the Eastman (and I own and like Eastman mandolins).
