Anything in the Cordoba line is hard to beat,. Not that familiar with the Alhambra. You might also look at the Kenny Hill guitars - they seem to have a big following amongst the classical players

If you're in the States get a Córdoba. If you're in Europe, get an Alhambra. At least, that's what I'd do in your shoes. Oh, also, play before you buy. Price is king.

Don't have any opinion on the Alhambra, but the C10 should be a great guitar. I have an F10 that I'm very satisfied with, and I had a C12 that was awesome. I only sold it because I'm more into flamenco styles than classical these days. Had I elected to continue working on my classical repetoire, the C12 would have stayed.

If you're concerned about where the string goes, as suggested above, just wind the other side of the hole. Fewer turns may keep you closer to center, just use a twist lock to cut slippage. But these issues are pretty well universal with classical guitars using the roller-type tuners, as far as I've seen - if you don't install the strings correctly, you can cause problems. Curious to know if it's a more prominent problem with some manufacturers than others, as in my fairly limited experience slotted headstock + fat nylon strings always means extra care in lining up the strings is helpful or even necessary.
Edit: in my view, the E strings in the picture both have too many turns around the post - keeping that thing in tune would be quite annoying.

Why is this a problem only on guitars over $1000? Why not on $600 or $800 guitars? It would seem to me that poorer quality instruments under $1000 would be more likely to have such a problem, if there is, indeed, a problem, which I seriously doubt . I also question why anyone knowledgeable about classical guitars would even buy into such a thing - it's not a factor of the construction of the guitar, but the way it's strung. It's really a non-issue, especially on guitars of that price range. Besides, the string touching the neck ABOVE the nut would have virtually NO affect on the tone or volume of the instrument - you might see a little difference on an oscilloscope but the human ear would never detect it.
