I've owned a Gibson Chet Atkins solid body nylon string guitar, a Kirk Sand, Brazilian rosewood/cedar Kirk Sand nylon string electric guitar and a Taylor NS72ce-LTD nylon string guitar. The day I bought the Kirk Sand I considered buying the less expensive Godin but I much preferred the Kirk Sand. Jose Feliciano uses Kirk Sand guitars.

My favorite of the three mentioned above was the Taylor which was made of Brazilian rosewood and cedar.
