Best Flamenco for $3k

Hi - I currently have two Marlon Navarro student models (one negra, one blanca). I think they are great guitars but want to upgrade and I like the raspiness of the blanca, so that's the one I'm going to upgrade. Since I've already had a good experience with Navarro, I am thinking about the Francisco Navarro Grand Concert model which would run a little over $3k. What else should I consider? Unfortunately playing first is not an option - there just aren't a lot of high end flamenco guitars around to play.

Wow! You've outgrown your instrument in record time. As far as I can remember you bought your both negra and blanca last summer.

Ha! Well I wouldn't say I've outgrown it, I just know how much I love playing this style of music so I want the loudest and best sounding instrument I can afford. Last summer when I went to get the blanca, someone on here advised that I save my money and get a better instrument instead of a second student model. I didn't listen so here I am. I'll sell the student blanca as soon as I get the new guitar.
