I have an Orchestra CE (Fusion) too, and am a long time steel string player moving to nylon. I am about 6 months into owing it. From my experience where this one is at now is pretty close to the minimum height without experiencing a good bit of fret buzz.

I use high/hard tension trebles and normal/medium tension bass strings. (This model comes from the factory with Savarez HTs.) But the nature of nylon strings is to have a pretty wide arc or deflection compared to steel strings, so you have to have a bit of space for things to move.

Though your technique will need to accommodate this, I think you'll find the effort small and well worth it.

P.S. My "journey" moving from steel strings may be similar to yours. I've got a couple of threads on this forum, and a post on YouTube (search there for "Another Gray Picker") with more details about "crossing over".
