it's one of those things you never get rid off, I've got the same thing..after seven years!
it's nice to play classical cause it's so easy to pick up; you're set right away, also the strings stay nicer and in tune better to my experience, the acoustic sound is also more natural, less overwhelming
practicing on a classical guitar requires stronger finger placement for your fretting hand but makes finger picking easier because the strings are wider apart
practicing on an electric guitar is harder because of the strings being closer together, so chords are harder to sound good without any of your fingers touching another string, same for finger picking, it's easier however to push the strings onto the fretboard

it gets more complicated with different electric guitars, some play better, some sound better, which to choose?!?!

hope that clarifies things :)
