Look at the Cordoba cutaways.
or email George at Berkelely Music
http://www.berkeleymusic.com/
He has often has good cutaways from Paracho at reasonable prices. He'll ship you one. he's dependable.

Later if you decide to do more flamenco work without a pick you can still use the cutaway to learn rasgueado.
But before you buy a cutaway, you seem to be interested in flamenco, and you came here to a flamenco website. You mention Strunz and Farrah. Why not buy some music first instead of buying a guitar? May I make a suggestion that might change your music life?
Ok, check out some of the guitar players who play for singers and buy a few CD's or get something on iTunes first. Then listen to cante with guitar and an open mind for a few weeks an see if anything grabs you. If it does you might want to rethink your need for a cutaway, and worst thing that can happen is you postpone spending money on a guitar.
What do you think about that?

It's commonly thought that cutaways have "less sound" than full body guitars. It's not always the case. Often factory made cutaways have a lacking quality, but a good hand made cutaway will not sound different and I doubt in a true blind test that even good guitar makers or expert players could hear a difference.
The mythology persists nonetheless.
