Well, this is timely, I just ordered a Traveler Escape nylon-string. The nylons are the only models I researched, but I've actually heard very good things about them, particularly the new MK-II. I decided to go with the older model as it's a tiny bit smaller and I found one on Ebay for $280 US (and I dig the minimalism of the Steinberger-esque body). It's mainly as a replacement for my Martin Backpacker, which has intonation problems and a smaller scale which I dislike (I'm fascinated by Krispen's move to mini's, though...), and the Traveler is 9" shorter even though it has a full scale length. Though I'd love to use a guitar this size as my main axe for ease of travel, I'm using the guitar body more and more as percussion and so I need to stick with a full-size acoustic for serious gigs. Here's a video of someone using one of the new nylons: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZO7bs2sQ5Cg Sounds pretty good to me, you can tell it's a piezo but I use flamenco strings which seem to reduce the piezo honkiness, at least on my Takamine. I'll give a review when I finally get to play the guitar in June, I'll be in the States then to pick it up.
