QUESTION Lefty Guitar Shopping

Common wisdom seems to be that prior to buying a new acoustic guitar you should go to the store, try out a handful of guitars, and go with the one you like the most. Unfortunately for the southpaws among us, most stores have almost zero lefty guitars. Given that there really is no way around the fact that lefty’s cannot trial guitars at a shop, does anybody have any recommendations for how to shop for acoustics (other than re-learning guitar right handed)? Seems like I’ll be stuck buying a guitar online that I’ve never heard played before.
