I prefer the narrower nut width found on crossovers mostly because I like to use my thumb to fret the bass string on certain chords, even when I'm playing a nylon string. I find that the small difference in size counts for a lot; with a 1 7/8" nut I can use my thumb comfortably but with a 2" or a little more, I cannot.
What I do prefer on the classical, though, is the 12 frets to the body. The crossovers that have the narrower nut but retain the 12 frets to the body are the ones of interest for me.
