I'd avoid the Applause as it doesn't have a great acoustic sound (by design).
The Ibanez has B Band which gives a better, easier to manage amplified sound.
I have no experience of the VEC800 but have reviewed the VEC500 which gives a basic foundation to understanding the characteristics of the 800 - CLICK HERE
All in all, your choice is clearly the Ibanez. And I hope you choose to buy it from iMuso rather than the store that was originally posted in your question! =============The Man in the Jar
