One luthier who would be worth investigating would be Linea Bravo.. His guitars are used by such players as yamandu costa, marco pereira etc I played yamandu's guitar awhile back it was basically a classical setup with a lower action along the neck but standard at tbe bridge Flatter neck He didn't seem like the set up of my blanca too much especially for the right hand I know nothing about making a guitar but these are some observations from a players perspective A few of us here have a background in brazjaz playing.. The other thing I have noticed is most guitars have a 'raised' fretboard.. Meaning the neck not making contact with the soundboard... 7 string is the more common instrument http://www.foroflamenco.com/printable.asp?m=122805&mpage=2

http://youtu.be/FKtgWJUSC6Y If playing a lot of samba the technique requires a more elevated right hand.. Some resonance and sustain is in character of the music .. If using a pick ( like Paulo Bellinati ) generally the right hand is above the strings, like jazz players generally have a suspended right picking hand , no contact with guitar...just pick and string... So a more classical action would be beneficial , as in archtops are in the electric world Again I'm just coming at this from a players point of view Brazilian guitars are different to classical and flamenco guitars, ..
