Just to be clear......you are comparing two different style of guitar.

There is a traditional nylon string guitar with a flat fingerboard and wide nut for the classical player.

Then there is a "crossover" style of nylon guitar with a narrower nut and radius fingerboard for the electric or acoustic steel string guitar player.


It's not that the cheaper ones have those features - it's just that the ones with those features that you looked at were cheaper ones.

You compared expensive classicals with inexpensive crossovers. Now, you may prefer classical over crossover, I'm not contesting that - just don't confuse the TYPE of guitar with the COST of the guitar. There are some very expensive crossovers out there.
