I went through all manner of steel string guitars for several years, trying to find a few that had unwound strings that didn't drive me absolutely nuts. I gave in to nylon almost exclusively about a year ago ... sold (or am in the process of selling) all of my steel strings except one, and couldn't be happier.
I still play fingerstyle on a few select electric guitars pretty often, but acoustic steel is just not the thing. I have a steel string OM due from Julius Borges this month (that I ordered a couple of years ago) and it will be interesting to see if it can make a home around here. If anybody can do it, he can ... but I definitely have a very, very strong preference for nylon at this point and cannot imagine ever getting off of the train.
