This is what it sounds like. One take pointing between 12th fret and sound hole about 8 inches distance, one take from my listening position about ear height .

They are a tad warmer than the LDC (expected) but I think it's still down to what you like and what fits the mix. I'm sitting here listening to AC+Kit sample and man does it remind me of when I first began multitracking (I think I have some old test with similar chords and instrumentation LOL).

Since you are sort of in testing mode, I think you should semi-finish a tune, give it a basic mix and see how the various guitar recording techniques you've tried sound in context. Everything is about context, did I mention context?
