Wessman,
I've been following this thread and your earlier one... this is the first nylon string guitar you've owned? This is a pretty steep investment for a first nylon string. It is a completely different beast than an acoustic or electric steel string. The sustain is very different. Attack is different. Especially if you're looking at a guitar that is built more for classical players, the feel is completely different.
I have owned 4 or 5 nylon strings, both traditional classical guitars and crossovers. I have always loved the sound of a nylon string guitar when played by someone else but until very recently have felt that something was missing when I play one. I miss the sustain and the different attack of a good steel string (I play a Lowden steel string acoustic and a partscaster electric). My current guitar, a Kenny Hill New World fingerstyle, is the best I've owned and my head is closest to enjoying playing nylon now. It is a crossover and so approaches a steel string in feel and is a great sounding guitar... but I still very, very rarely play it out and occasionally think of selling or trading it. YMMV, but before I would invest that amount of money, I'd be sure I really can enjoy playing a nylon string guitar long term or look only at used guitars. As was said before, the price drop from a new to used crossover is pretty steep. I expect the same is true of mid level nylon strings of any type. You'll likely take a serious hit if you buy a new guitar and then sell it.
All that said, the only Ramirez guitars I have played have been at Guitar Center and never the model you mentioned. No doubt, they received substandard care and many or even most of the acoustics hanging there sounded and played well below their true potential. Still, none impressed me as being better guitars than my Kenny Hill and most were second even to the Guild GAD crossover, both of which cost a lot less. I got my guitar used at a very attractive price.
No, installed electronics should not make a difference in the acoustic sound. On steel strings, I prefer aftermarket pickup systems. My limited experience says that pickup choice is less critical on nylon strings so if the guitar has a pickup and it sounds good amplified, go with it.
There are very few nylon strings with less than a 1 7/8 inch nut. Most have 2 inches or more while many crossovers have 1 7/8. The only narrower one I'm aware of is the Godin slim. Of course, a custom guitar can have anything you want. The problem is that nylon strings move a lot further than steel and if they're too close together, they might hit one another. Same reason for the higher action - to keep down fret buzz.
too many decisions
