Your opinions kindly requested on this Martin OM21
Apologies for the crosspost, in case you've already seen my post on r/AcousticGuitar
I believe this is a repair / maintenance related query, though I understand if moderators don't agree. I've not posted in this sub before and I apologise if it's off the sub's focus.
However, I'd really appreciate your opinions on this purchase while I have 2 weeks to change my mind. (Ignore the weird break angle on the low E – I'm using strings that have quite a fat winding near the ball end...)

I'm currently trying out this 2017 Martin OM21, with a two week window to change my mind. I paid what I think is a fair price, £2000. Not a steal or a mega-bargain, but reasonable, and certainly the most expensive instrument I've bought.
It's a big financial commitment to me, and I'd appreciate people's opinions of whether this is a sensible buy...
Pros:
Sounds perfect to me. Action is currently fine. It's in great cosmetic condition too, with just a tiny ding. And I really like how it plays.
Cons:
Saddle is low. Leaving less than 1mm of adjustability. Straight edge on neck points to just below the top of the bridge (nothing drastic, but it isn't level or above.)
I know that nobody has a crystal ball, but what do you reckon?
Given that it's nearly a 10 year old guitar... would you gamble on that actin not changing drastically in the next few years? Or is the current action / saddle combo looking like borderline bad news?
Context: I monitor the humidity in the rooms my guitars live in, and it's pretty consistently somewhere between 40-60 RH, usually like 55.
However, my house is not a museum and I keep the guitars on hand to play, and they don't live 24/7 in their cases. I have three other all solid acoustics that I've never had issues looking after, and hoping the Martin isn't going to be too finicky in comparison.
Apologies for the long post.
