I did not play a 1500, but a 1000. It was nice, but I came away with the feeling that I would regret not buying the Northfield F5S. Now a grand is a lot of money, but I heard the difference. But if you can find a used Kentucky that works for you, that wouldn't be bad. You could recoup your money on the next upgrade.
A lot of them will have flat boards though, so no mandolin is worth buying if it doesn't work for you. Again, that Gallatin....
