Smile 12 frets vs 14 frets

I recently acquired a Martin 000C Nylon classical guitar and I love the cutaway, even though I don't spend a lot of time in the upper register. It's nice to know I can go there, if necessary. I also like the slightly wider neck as it gives me just a little more room for fingerstyle playing. What I found so amazing about my guitar is the sound projection of the nylon strings, and when I plug it in to my amp, it's simply AMAZING!

I've watched several classical player that don't have the cutaway, and it's quite a stretch when they play above the 12th fret. It shows in their facial expression often.

I also have several 14-fret acoustics, acoustic-electrics, electrics and I don't have any problems switching back and forth.
