Please help me decide! It's going to be a tenor, and I've got it narrowed down to:
1. A Mainland Classic Mahogony

2. An Ohana TK-20CE

I had the opportunity to play a Mainland Classic Mahogony in the concert size, and really liked it. I haven't actually been able to see the Ohana in person, but people seem to think it is good as well. I don't really need the electric pickup that is on the Ohana, but if I got it, I would probably plug it in, as I have a few guitars.
There is also a 3rd option I am considering. I would really rather get one of the new Sailor ukes.

The Sailor would be my first choice hands down. But, in order to afford it, I would have to sell something, which would be my beloved Epiphone Les Paul Standard guitar in black with cream trim. I really like that guitar, but don't play it much anymore. I would hate to see it go, but the force of UAS may overpower my ability to keep it.
So, of the first two, which would you recommend? And if it comes down to making a sacrifice, should I keep the Les Paul, or let it go to fund the Sailor?
Thanks for any insight you can lend on this tormenting decision!
Mike
