Regarding "playability": which one is better in playability? (for example: fast picados & etc) Speaking as somebody that owns both and more (devilhand does not yet own a flamenco guitar, but seems to know a lot about them![:D]), I would say the answer depends on the context you are using the guitar. For “fast picados” I prefer guitars that are actually a little stiffer and higher actions (3.0mm is good at 12), because you need the snap back response. Low action guitars you have to be careful and play softer or rather it can be hard to get the sound you want. Low action guitars are great for rhythm playing however, strumming raspy rasgueados are great and holding barre chords for a long time etc. In terms of feel, if you play with zero capo guitar 1 is better, with capo often up high, guitar 2 is better, and if you play with capo often but in middle to lower positions, either guitar will feel the exact same on the left hand.
