Thanks, everyone, for your thoughts and help! I purchased a Fender parlor just to try for a bit from Guitar Center and will take one of them back once I make a decision. I definitely can hear a difference in the parlor from my concert series. I'm not sure the reach on the neck is helpful enough to make it worth it. It really isn't all that much shorter. So, I'm still up in the air.
I really appreciate all of your advice and to know I'm not alone in this!
