I have two Cordoba C-10's but no experience with Pavan. I bought a flawless C-10 cedar two years ago for $800 and a flawless C-10 spruce last year for $600. I am very happy with these. There is enough difference between the cedar and spruce to justify having both, so I don't regret either purchase. I bought both online so I realize that these purchases could easily gone south. But they didn't and I am a very happy man.
