I just picked up a Michael Kelly Legacy Classic with a Shatten pickup installed to use as my hazardous duty mando. It's nice sounding and playing, and means I can leave my '24 snakehead Gibson A at home more. It seems to be a good compromise in quality--good enough, but not so good that I'd be worried about dragging it to the bars.
It is, of course, a hollow F style. Haven't played any of the solid 8-stringers if that's what you're looking for.
