I recently bought an Octave Mandolin. (I didn't want to have to learn to read another instrument.) The voice is wonderful, and there's plenty of scope to play vibrant stuff on the lower strings on bluegrass stuff. But it's much further from E to B on the top string, and much harder to play fast passages there (think, Blackberry Blossom). Also, you need to rethink 'chop chords' unless your hands are lots bigger than mine.
