I'll be honest, I play classical music on my flamenco guitar (Cordoba Solista Flamenca) all the time and I think it sounds really good. I'm sure it wouldn't meet the requirements for an actual professional classical player or the casual "cork sniffers" but since you are looking for a single guitar that covers the bases, I suspect you are willing to make some compromises.

You do need to play with a bit lighter touch to avoid fret noise (given the lower action) and it will be brighter sounding (which I like) with less sustain. My guitar is a blanca as well, if you got a negra model it would be even closer to a classical in sound.

Basically, if you want to be playing flamenco, you will want the lower action and golpeador, which you get with a flamenco guitar.

I also play some fingerstyle on it as well, although I prefer my 12-fret Taylor for that usually, unless I really want the nylon string sound.
