Obviously there's the Lowden Jazz but thought I'd check out Goodall. I've only met a couple of Goodalls but one of them is in my thoughts almost every day.
And yes, they do one!

My sister found a second hand one for $19,000. Doesn't really help much.

Much more so than with electrics, in the acoustic world there's a demonstrable correlation between performance and price. I've never gone quite that far up the food chain though.

Most of us would consider a 25 year old Brasilian model Martin to be fairly high up the food chain ?

A 25 year old Brazilian model would probably be high maintenance too!

Yeah, but I was 18 and paid (I think) $850 for it.

Yes but in those days that much money would have bought you the Coromandel, with money left over for half a dozen muskets.
