Ask over at the ovationfanclub.com forums. People there have played and owned them.

All Ovations have similar feel to the neck. If you like the feel of the 2078 you should like the Thunderbolt. The 2078 has the deep contour body, so it has a different shape than the Thunderbolt.

What are your desires in the acoustic guitar? There are many Ovation models that are outstanding for quality and tone. If the Thunderbolt doesn't work out for you, perhaps we can help identify other models which you would love.

I don't know about the price of $820 for the Thunderbolt. Each model is different, but there are many excellent used Ovations available from $350 to $1300.

I don't want to be the price police, especially as I do not know the market for this exact model of guitar. However, in general, a very nice condition used Ovation should sell in the USA for around $500 including case. Some older models go for less even though they are better sounding guitars, some go for more due to being rare. It is very difficult to sell a used Ovation for what it is really worth today. Prices have dropped a lot in the past two years. If you are most interested in getting a good Ovation for a good price, I would advise a different model of Ovation. If you like the Thunderbolt in particular, I am sure that one in excellent condition is "worth" the price you mention, but I don't know if that is the current market value.
