Antonio Picado Flamencos

Hey everyone I am starting the hunt for a new blanca was wondering if anyone has heard anything about Antonio Picado's flamenco guitars. I currently own a model 60 classical and am happy with it and was considering getting the corresponding flamenco model.
Other guitars I am considering are the Navarro Reyes and a Castillo, however the quotes I got on these guitars are $500-100 more than the Picado.

Thanks for your input

Does one's picado become faster when one plays an Antonio Picado guitar?

Sorry, couldn't resist...

Actually believe it or not, you may think I'm full of it but I once had an Antonio Picado guitar and I did see a noticeable difference in my picado speed with that guitar. Too bad I sold it. One of my regrets man...

It's good you sold it because I don't think we would have been able to handle tempos faster than the ones you already achieve.

well I have examined the bracing on the classical model 60 picado I have and it is a 9 fan fleta design. I am hoping they use something different for the flamenco models because I don't see this pattern being very good for flamenco.

I know this was a while back but I just wanted to share the answer to my question once I got the Antonio Picado 60f. It looks like a 7 fan torres type of design that is used for this model.
