And Tom, what do you mean with loosely braced? Is this standard for flamenco guitars or you mean a construction issue? Like Echi said, a lot of this depends on the top thickness, along with the number of fan braces and how they are placed on the top. Then, it is according to the builder's knowledge, how to articulate the top, ( with certain top graduation techniques, ) to get a response that is pleasing to the performing artist. I've come to believe in the 58 years of my building practice, that tonal quality and proper top tension are the two most important things for the flamenco guitar. After this, cosmetic value. etc.
