+1 on what Charles said about action heights, neck widths and playing styles. I mostly play acoustics set to the fairly typical action height of 1.7 mm treble, 2.4 mm bass. However, my requinto (22" scale, 2" neck width, normal tension nylon guitar strings tuned to G standard) is set to 3.0 mm treble, 3.6 mm bass. I could go lower, but I'm comfortable with that because of the soft feel and wide string spacing.
