I have a Cordoba fusion 12 maple and a Kremona Sofia S63CW which I got to try out a shorter scale length.
Both seem well made and sound good. For me the Cordoba edges it though, and after 5 months of playing the Kremona the Cordoba is back as top dog, but that could just be the scale length. I don’t think you would go wrong with either. My sense is that the Cordoba is lighter.
I had a different classical for 30 years without a truss rod and no problems with it, but having one makes me more secure, especially if you want to go for high tension strings. If you are coming from steel that makes it feel more familiar.
