Buying Classical/Flamenco$

Hi all, I have been playing classical guitar for about 5 years and play basic flamenco stuff. I wanted to get more into it so i have decided to buy a flamenco guitar. I was wondering if anyone can give me some tips or recommendations on guitars that might have qualities of both classical/flamenco. My budget is 1300$. Thanks!

People tend to consider flamenco negras to be a little warmer like a classical but guitar set-up will make a difference as well.

a new navarro student level negra is about $1k and a new cordoba solista is about $1.2K and both might do the trick.

I had a student Navarro and used it as a gig guitar for a few years. It was a pretty guitar and I wish I hadn't sold it.
