I have a cheaper cedar Alhambra, the 3c, as my leave-in-the-office guitar. It doesn't sound all that great but it does have a fairly "big" sound. I think the Alhambras even at the low end have a sort of complicated and resonant sound that will tend to err on the side of muddy. But it's still a form of an old classical-guitar tonal character that's interesting as an alternative to a cleaner, modern sound.
So I appreciate mine for what it is (and it was purchased used, like your 4p IIRC) which makes the rather outsized new price not an issue.
