I've not played any Faith guitars but they are available in AUS and seem to get good global reviews.
The model you posted goes for just under the $1k mark here so that puts it well above entry level, and below upper range instruments (if that makes sense). FWIW, I did see a couple of Faith models up around the $2400 range as well.
2400 bucks may not be a lot to many acoustic players, but I've owned cars that didn't cost that much!
My suggestion may be well below what you're looking for, but Cort makes some very good value instruments. I'm not a big acoustic player but own a Cort SFX-1F acoustic that sounds and plays really well. This model fits into what you've mentioned regarding thinner body (the also SFX has a arched back) and the neck is a good shape and size (narrow/slim) for my smallish hands and has a cutaway.
It only cost me about $500 with a Cort hard case, so lower end of the scale but as I said earlier, acoustic guitar is not my go-to instrument, so wanted something good quality for a short price. The Cort more than meets my needs.
Also worth noting the Cort has the same Fishman Presys preamp that the Faith model you posted has. Which sounds quite good plugged in btw.
