If you are really serious about classical music and you like the Taylor nylon-string guitars, there is no reason not to buy one. You've already played one and know what they sound like.

It is a mistake for someone to buy a Taylor nylon-string if they expect it to sound like a true classical guitar. Unplugged they have a different sound that some people like and others don't. Plugged in, the sound is very similar to that of a true classical guitar equipped with typical pickups.

I own a bespoke classical guitar and until a few weeks ago, owned a NS72ce-LTD which I miss and wouldn't have sold had it not been for an enormous veterinary bill. The two guitars were quite different and I liked having the choice of sound they offered. The Taylor's intonation was the best I've encountered. I did not have a problem with the position of the first string.
