I've played a few of these, don't know how much difference there is in the batch, really. I played several Alhambra 5 models against the 7 back in 2008 and to be honest I'd probably not have been able to tell them apart blind listening. The 7 have better finish consistency out of the factory for (at the time) only a marginal cost increase (I was looking without cutaway and electronics). The Cordobas get so much good press around here that I'd definitely get my hands on one of those for a trial if I were back in the market - I don't much like the thinner bodies, but it depends what you're planning to do with it I suppose. Have fun getting your hands on everything you can, you'll probably learn a lot more about what you're looking for by playing as many as possible.
