PRS Custom 22 vs Carvin CT6: Anyone tried both?

Thinking of getting either a Carvin CT6 or a PRS Custom 22 (or 24). Has anyone owned or played both? They seem to be similar in concept and construction, but I wonder how differently they sound. I tried a PRS Custom 24 few years back and still remember how resonant it was. Is the CT6 the same? DOes it have that bright sound to it that most Carvins have?
Thanks for the help guys!

Well, I still have not decided which one would be best, BUT I found a 1992 PRS Custom 24 I liked and I am waiting for it to arrive! :)
Since I haven't played either recently (I only played a Custom 24 a few years back and really liked its unplugged resonance and general sound), the deciding factor was that I believe I can find a CT6 easily at a good price in the future, but it would be harder to find an older PRS. ;)
Now expect a NGD when it arrives!! :)
