Navarro's Blanca versus Negra!

OK, I have decided to buy a Navarro:

I am down to two, or maybe three:

1. Francisco Navarro "Negra" (Is this a student model or what???)

Haven't found this model anywhere else, but looks legit per his e-bay comments
Solid Spruce Top and Solid Palo Escrito back and sides

2. Navarro Flamenco Student Model

Spruce or cedar top with spanish cypress back/sides

3. Navarro Flamenco Concert Model

I know I can get this for a GOOD deal. That's all I can really comment for now. But is it worth it above the student? I'm more inclined to the student models

Thanks for your help! This would be my first flamenco guitar.

I say go for the Concert if you have a good deal. Keeps it simple and satisfying.

What makes the concert that much better.. is it just the wood? From what I understand, Navarro himself only makes the models above the concerts like the Grand Concerts and the new Reyes
