The FG830 is brand new. It differs from the old 730S in that the 830 has scalloped braces. Sounds like it will be a real winner.
I've had a couple of each of the S6 and 730 models in the past. I, too, play classical, but a steel string 1.8" nut is nothing like a wide nylon string classical nut. I found the S6 to be tiring to play for any extended period of time, especially if you do a lot of barre chording. Lots more tension with steel strings compared to nylon.
Based on that, I pick the 830.
