Now, I didn't consider some of those specs closely. I noticed them, just didn't give them a lot of thought.
I'm making comparisons to my Ohana here. The Ohana is a CK-42, Sinker Redwood with Rosewood and it sounds glorious.
----
The WOOD I looked up. Port Orford Cedar, is not actually a cedar, it's actually a variant of Cypress, and is said to have a tone something between cedar and redwood. Not as soft as cedar. And pairing it with Myrtle seems to be a common thing to do. Known good combination of woods. Nice! And I can attest that it sounds GREAT! I can't say it's "better" than the Ohana, but seems to be just as good. Certainly different, possibly louder. Without doing a ton of back-to-back comparison, I think the Ohana has a little more sustain, but the Hanson has an absolutely absurd amount of "chime" to it. I've heard people say "chimes like a bell"... yes! The High/Low G adds something to it, but it's more than that. Definitely the tone woods and the way it's built.

The nut width, 1.5" = 38mm. A tad wide, but that makes sense with the added string, and I've always thought I'd like a wider nut, anyway. My Ohana is a skinny 1-3/8" (33mm), I think it would be better at around 35-36mm. So, the 38mm does feel fat. But, what I noticed more than that is that the string spacing is WIDE. I could see me making a new nut for this with the strings slightly closer together. But, maybe not. I might get used to it.
----
The scale length, 16.25". I glossed over that. It's a bigger deal than I thought. And for a lot of reasons. Concert scale is "supposed to be" 15-16". My much loved Ohana is right about 15-1/8, on the short side of Concert spec. I measure the Hanson at 16-1/8". So, it's just on the long side of Concert, I wouldn't even call it "extended" given that it's so close. (but, what do I know?)
Let me preface this with the fact that I started on a Tenor, played a few different ones for about 9 years before I decided to try a Concert. Instantly loved the Concert scale! Tenor just feels like too much fret-spacing near the nut. Concert is WAY easier for me to play, it just feels right.
What the 16" scale Concert is... effectively, it's exactly the same fret spacing as my 15" Ohana, PLUS another wider spaced fret at the nut. That makes the fret spacing up there (down there?) feel just a little off to me, but it will probably do me good to adapt to that sort of thing. Other folks can play every size of uke AND guitar AND anything else with strings... I'll try to broaden my scope!
----
Neck length and bridge placement. It took me a minute to figure out why it felt so weird. The neck length FROM THE BODY to the nut is only about 1/2" longer. The other added >1/2" is achieved by moving the BRIDGE towards the end of the body. If you'd asked me before I picked up this uke, I wouldn't have thought anything of it. But, here's what that does... for me, anyway... There's less uke body beyond the bridge, and that's where I rest my forearm.
With the Ohana that I'm used to, my arm fits right where it should, and my strumming thumb (or 
pick) lands right past the end of the fretboard over the sound hole. Opinions may vary, but I think that's where it "should" be. If I move my strum up the neck, it doesn't sound as good.
With the Hanson, placing my forearm where it "belongs", my strum is about 3/4" down the neck. Not a big deal. Doesn't "feel" right, but I'll get used to it. If I were doing a custom build, though... this is something I'd want to consider that I'd never even thought about before. (That's not true, I own a "tiny tenor" that has the same problem... but, I made a custom forearm rest for that one to extend the body... it was truly unplayable before I did that and a couple other things to it. Yes, as a VERY non-professional player, I'm picky about things fitting me just right because I'm just not that good!)
So, the bridge placement is "a thing", but not a huge deal. I think.

The other thing in the ad that I didn't pay any attention to because I know I can (and expected that I would) change strings, is the fact that it has high-tension strings on it. I like low-tension strings, almost floppy. I totally forgot that fact until I started writing this. But, it jives with what I felt!
Right out of the box, the strings were slackened, and I tuned it to 2 steps down, which is where my Ohana currently is. And... the strings were too tight! Went down another step, not much different. Back up to match the Ohana and did some comparisons. Okay, okay. But, DANG these strings are tight.
But, wait... if they're this tight, that means I can TUNE LOWER! And with a longer scale length, that just might work! So, now I'm down 4 steps. I'm tuned to "Low Eb" (or I guess "High and Low Eb"). I've not played with it much, but it sound GOOD, and the strings are closer to a reasonable tension. Believe it or not, they're still too stiff.
I'll keep tinkering with it. Maybe throw a set of my custom low-tension fluorocarbon fishing line strings on it. Maybe play with double Low G.
I'll try to do some sound comparison videos at some point. But, I'm recording from my phone, quality won't be great.
