Default Need advice for buying a guitar

Hi everyone,
I'm predominantly an electric player and I'm playing mostly symphonic metal and neoclassical and I'd like to record some acoustic guitar parts for some of my songs. I've got a Line 6 James Tyler Variax JTV-69 which does a great job of emulating both 6 and 12 string acoustic guitars with steel strings, but what I'm looking for now is a 6 string acoustic guitar with nylon strings. I can't seem to find one that has all of the following characteristics:
1) 6 strings
2) Nylon strings
3) 24 frets
4) Frets are marked (3, 5, 7, 9, 12, 15, 17, 19, 21, 24)
5) Built-in microphone so I can amplify the guitar
6) All 24 frets are available on all 6 strings (I've seen some Ovation models that have 24 frets, but only for the high E string)

I've perused the Ovation, Taylor, and Yamaha sites in addition to Guitar Center, Musician's Friend, and Sweetwater, and I can't find an acoustic guitar that meets these criteria. Ideally, the fretboard would be narrow and not a big, wide classical neck. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
Scott
