I have skimmed but not read this entire thread and I didn't vote but I think what makes harp guitars have a world of difference is if you know how to manage the subs. Being able to play them as well as mute them maximizes what the harp guitar is capable of. I also agree with what Al Carruth mentioned about harp guitars and steel strings. Nylon allows for more nuances in the tonal palette and adds to what makes the harp guitar unique. Having said that, I love hearing steel string harp guitars being played.
Best,
