One other thing you might want to look into is the warranty. and who you're buying from, if you're buying a new ukulele.
I bought a new Kamaka not long ago, which arrived with a damaged bridge. The place I bought from, (not one of the usual places recommended here), wanted nothing to do with the problem. I took it to a local repair place, who tried to get the place that I bought it from to cooperate, and also got in contact with Kamaka. The bottom line was that Kamaka would fix it - but only if the place I bought it from returned it to them - and they weren't cooperating. But, even if it had been shipped back to Kamaka, the local repair place was told that it would take about 6 months to get it back to the place I bought it from, who would then have to ship it back to me. The local repair place offered to send it back to Kamaka, but that didn't work for Kamaka.
So, even the best case scenario for getting it fixed under warranty wasn't very good. But, even that couldn't happen, since the place I bought it from refused to be involved. So, the local place fixed it, (somewhat - I'm still not happy with it), at my expense.
That said, I would buy another Kamaka, because I really do like them. But, I'd be very careful about the seller, and hope that there were no mishaps, because shipping it back to HI and having it gone for 6 months when under warranty isn't appealing.
I have no idea how the other K brands handle their warranty repairs, but you might want to look into that. Odds are you won't need to have a repair done, but it still might factor into a decision on what to buy.
I'm not going to name the place I bought the ukulele from, in hopes that this was a giant misunderstanding or something, but I won't ever buy anything from them again.
