Of course I will be playing all of them at which time I will decide what does best for me, but any thoughts from you guys will be factored in.

Driving 600 miles to where? I think the Shen Willow back has a slight arch and an X-brace system. The Willow as well might be more stable and deeper sounding than Maple. For a lower priced Orchestra bass this model usually deliverers.
Call
CSC and ask them if any what reported problems they have heard about with these Willows. Not a weeping Willow as far as what I have heard..
