Yamaha AC3R/A3R vs FS3/FG3. Which is better? What are the differences?

I've heard a lot about Yamaha's Red Label series on this sub, and how even the budget Made in China models can easily rival $2000 guitars.

What about the A series guitars though? They seem to be in the same price range.

Has anyone here played both? I'm interested to see how they stack up, because I'm in the process of deciding which acoustic I'll upgrade to next (it'll probably be a sub-$1000 Yamaha).
