....I don't know if I want classical or flat top....I've only ever had this cheap classical so not sure. I do like finger picking but would also like to try some easy blues. so perhaps a flat top would be more versatile for both? My hands are not strong, so I thought the classical with nylon strings was easier to play? I guess I better do some research. I find it very difficult to play a guitar in the store when the salesman is standing there watching. (Oh, and what do you mean by a 'proper setup'?)
thanx,
Tracy

Are you planing to continue on with a classical style or go to a flat top acoustic.
A classical guitar has a wider neck, so a flat top (Full size) may be easier to play for you. Also a proper set-up will make a world of difference..
Like most people here subscribe to the theory of "try before you buy". Try many.
Manufacture that pop into mind are Taylor and Yamaha. Looking through prices on line it seems that 3/4 size guitars are aimed at youth.
If you watch this video you will see size does not always matter.
