A Gerundino blanca 1990, An Anders Eliasson Negra 2008, and because the Anders Eliasson is my favorite, I have ordered another Negra with a soundhole........comming soon! 
Is that the Panama Rosewood one? That one looks a gem of a instrument.

I own 3 acoustics (one crap one, one ok 6 string, one nice 12 string), 3 electrics (1 Hagstrom, 1 Telecaster, 1 vintage Gibson) and a cheap classical guitar.
I definitely have too many. I need to cull the collection, right now I only play the Hagstrom, the classical and the string acoustic. Most of them are quite cheap, crap and from my experience selling guitars has been a bit of a hassle (being a lazy man I avoid such hassles!).

@tijeretamiel,
Yes, it is the Panama
@Morante,
It is indeed a great compliment to Anders.!
Maybe a little explanation is on his place, not everybody have tried a Gerundino.
The Gerundino sounds increadable good, the same sound as you can hear at Azahara from Paco Peña.
I like that sound a lot, the Gerundino have a long sustain. Nowadays not so common for a flamenco guitar.
Because of that, the Gerundino is more difficult to control, it is good possible, but it takes a while to get used to the Gerundino.
The tension of the strings is less than f.i. an Anders Eliasson. also the Gerundino is rounder and bigger.
This gives the guitar a totally different attack. ( left and right hand)
So the Anders is very nice, tight to play. Ofcourse with less sustain, my taste is a bit longer sustain, and a Negra compensate the lesser sustain it a bit in sound.
Because the Anders feels very nice to play, and is easy to control, I play better, feel more comfortable, and therefore even maybe sound better.
because I have not to pay attention for controlling at what I am doing. So that have become my favorite.
This is all pretty personal taste wise etc., and I have had a lot of guitars, my oppinion have chainged over time too.
Peter.
