I am probably leaning towards the Furch but I have concerns about the 1 3/4 inch nut. As background I had an Applegate crossover for several years. It had a 2 in nut and I never got to the point where I could easily transition back and forth between that and the 1 3/4 inch on my steel strings. I always had an issue accurately hitting the B and E strings with my little finger. I don’t have the longest of fingers.
My concern is that with 1 3/4 inch with nylon strings I will have problems cleanly fingering the treble strings. I ‘think’ the 1 7/8 inch nut on the Hill would not offer the same potential problem.
Any thoughts?

Jack,
Have you thought about going through a local Furch dealer to inquire about a 48 mm nut instead of their standard 45mm?
