I've owned a Pavan TP-30 and have played many Cordobas. I'd say they are comparable in sound quality, but the Pavan seems to be a bit more refined in terms of craftsmanship. I think it would come down to the individual guitars in question. In my opinion, the action of a new guitar should have no bearing whatsoever in a purchasing decision. Action can be modified easily and expensively. I look at guitars the same way I look at suits: They all have to be tailored to fit the owner after the purchase. The Cordobas may have a bit of an advantage, though, because they have adjustable truss rods.
