Default Small nylon/classical recommemdations/experiences

Well, I got an estimate to put a real bridge on my Gretsch guilele and it'd cost more than buying a new one, so- like I needed an excuse- time for a new guitar!

I'm looking for a small (1/4 or 1/2) size classical. Not a toy or for a kid. What's out there apart from Córdoba and Yamaha?

half size is tiny, are you sure?

While everyone else (or so it seems) is recommending Cordoba or Yamaha, I refer folks to Alhambra. Spanish made classicals that play and sound very nice. And they make a 3/4 size.

Sorry but I didn't know people made 1/4 size guitars except for kids and 1/2 size isn't all that common in my experience.
