Default Nylon + cutaway + 20/21 frets + nut near 52mm

Dear forum,

I have been playing standard classical guitar for +30years, mostly i love fingerstyle, but also play the usual poprock stuff.

Latest tabs i bought were 6 Bach pieces that a player translated to classic guitar.

But.. meanwhile i got Pink Floyd "Shine on you crazy Diamond" piece as i wanted to extend my comfort zone and add some music with solo (something im able just fun do basic blues) which.. but soon discovered piece at some point reaches the 20th fret 3 times and with the well known David Gilmour extreme sliding.

I been googling for a model with specs like in this post title:
  • Nylon
    cutaway
    20/21 frets
    nut near 52mm
    body depth as big as possible/near classical
    Its ok to have pickup but i want continue playing unplugged as i been doing with my classical guitars

I collected an initial list, but im still bit unsure if am im missing some models.

I learned somethings while collecting information like fretboard arriving body on the 12th vs 14th fret, or the tendency for most having small body height and seems mostly to be play plugged, but this isn't what i desire.
I know - suspect - my desire maybe hard to get, but basically i wanna same depth as full sound as possible like in classical guitar but with 20 or 21 frets accessible via cutaway so i can play "Shine" piece unplugged.

So here by I come for your help, as several times google gave me this forum in the many results i been trying.

Money: Ideally under 400 € but for full purposes imagine theres no limit as to satisfy if at least this setup exists at a high end price.


Kind regards,
Emanuel
