Sounds like a beauty. I like the satin equally as much as I like a gloss Finish. They are both Nice in their own way. Just ordered the "Street legend" D18 with the worn look. Just didn't want mine to look like everybody else's.
I recently purchased a Martin D-X2E this past April. It's the first satin finish guitar I've owned and I've really become a fan of the satin finishes in many respects. Both of your guitars look and sound really good.
I bought my D-18 in 1973. It had a neck reset and the bridge re-attached at the Martin factory in Nazareth, PA. in 2018. Nothing I’ve tried has the thump for bluegrass like my 51-year-old friend.

Such a perfect sound, my friend!
thank you krasi!
Great video I like both , satin had more of a punchy sound to my old ears . 2:06

Nice playing.
Think I go for the 03. It's as if the gross is reflected in the sound.
23 has more earth, , , may be what normally is known as 'wood'.
Heps
One has scalloped braces and one does not.
The satin has way more meat on the bone..hands down..
