Why are some designated as solid rosewood and other not?

Those that are solid rosewood have solid rosewood sides and backs. Those that are simply labeled "rosewood" are laminated backs and sides. Solid woods have better and louder sounds and improve more readily with age. Of course, solid wood is more expensive. Hope this helps.

Besides this l-series having a slightly wider neck (and string spacing), how does it compare to the yamaha f-series (e.g., fsx830c)?

The neck is chunkier than the FS lineup.

Is this a dreadnought or a jumbo? Here it says dreadnought, elsewhere on the internet it says jumbo. Thank you.

More of an OM size guitar shaped a little bit like a mini jumbo. Have a 10 year old rosewood model. Replace the saddle and bridge pins with bone and you'll be amazed by the sound. Never selling mine. I think the LS6 actually sounds better than the more expensive solid wood LS16. Given a choice between the two I'd go for the LS6, costs less sounds better. And because the back and sides of the LS6 are made of plywood (still very expensive, rosewood plywood is not cheap) it's actually a very strong guitar build wise.

does it come with a hard case?

Not sure on this one. My solid wood LS16 model comes with a hard case.
