I'm a 1 man band so obviously I need the biggest sound that I can get. Which of these would fill the bill better? Thanks

I think you need both.
'Nuff said.
Ding, ding, ding..... WINNER!Nope, he needs all three: F412, F512, AND F212XL
I have 2 New Hartford made F512's and I have never had an issue nor heard of an issue singing while you play one.

I think you might referring to my comment if so maybe I should have said it more like this .

“If you’re using your guitar for vocal accompaniment, you might notice that certain wood combinations provide a better platform for your voice than others. Indian and Brazilian Rosewoods are rich, reverberant tonewoods with lots of ring and gorgeous overtones, with Brazilian offering even more brilliance and clarity than Indian. With the Rosewoods, notes run together beautifully as you play. Mahogany has a woody, somewhat sweeter sound with fewer overtones than Rosewood. Maple has a drier, percussive tone and a quicker decay to its note, so it’s interesting to hear how the various woods support or surround your own voice. If your voice is similar in timbre to your guitar’s voice, the two can end up competing–in a way–for space.”
I myself have not had issues either with Rosewood
But I have read many articles that stated Rosewood more then the others leaning towards the side of “ competing for space “
This will be the term I use from now on but with one added word “ competeing for sonic space “
I like that better it sounds more “Lost in Space “‘ like and sciency too
If you refer to the BBC video, that is a F-412...Think David Gilmour for F512: rosewood flatback sound.
That's interesting about guitar and vocals fighting for frequency space. I have a resonant baritone voice and the gal that I sing with is a soprano. I'm wondering if a mahogany based guitar would do better to compromise for both. I still like having that big bottom end though. I might have to rethink the F512
