Not exactly, but I had a C5-CE for a short while and now have a Fusion 14 RS. The C5 is a little richer at the low end, more like a standard classical, while the Fusion 14 has a more contemporary sound. As it happens, I prefer the crossover neck, and since I knew I'd be playing it plugged in most of the time, I opted for the Fusion. But they're both good guitars. As I understand it, both the C5 and Fusion models were designed by Kenny Hill.

If you don't need to play up the neck, the Fusion Orchestra 12 should do you well. If you need a cutaway and want the Fusion's crossover neck, the spruce-top Fusion models might be a better fit. The RS version is available with a 12-fret neck, but that might require a special order.

Barry...I haven't played the Cordoba. It's hit or miss with them and I wouldn't recommend buying online unless you're okay with possibly having to send it back. In my humble opinion, here's a much safer option at the same price point:
