One of the last tonewoods I'm craving a try of these days. Ohana and Mainland both have one that interests me.

I've heard great things about both of them and the brands but I can't lay hands on either one, so fine folk of the UU I once again come to you for help in decision making. I'm hoping that those who own either these specific models can talk about the sound and make quality and some details.
In specific, I have arthritis in my hands and the neck size makes a difference for me. I like a wider neck/nut and a thicker/fatter neck. So I'm hoping to get some specific feedback on the type of necks I'm going to be getting with either of these uke brands.
Then just overall what would be your choice between these two and why if you will. And thanks in advance.
And does Uke Republic do decent set ups? I think the answer is yes but if anyone has had a negative experience I specifically would like to hear your story about that in detail. If you don't feel comfortable talking about that in open forum feel free to PM me.
