The Rainsong nut width seems more designed for steel string players; I didn't think I would like the Rainsong width but have adapted and now find it comfortable.

As far as placing nylon strings on steel string cf guitars, my experience is that tonal qualities are fine but there is a loss of projection, a loss that is compensated for with electronic augmentation.
I found the thread...
