Guitarra de Estudio vs Constructores

Hi everyone, I’m a bit new to the Flamenco guitar world and I recently came across a fairly good deal for a Conde Hermanos Felipe V N2, however it was a “Guitarra de Estudios” which I assume is more of student / mid-range type of guitar compared to the “Constructores” type by Conde Hermanos? I’m trying to better understand the difference between the two, both in terms of their build and price point. Could anyone offer some guidance?
Thank you!

RE: Guitarra de Estudio vs Constructores (in reply to Tastimo)

Sorry this was missed earlier, we discuss often in the Luthier section, though it is more appropriate here.

Basically studio guitars in spain are produced in Valencia, and there might be a slight increase in price tag with some famous family maker name stuck in there. There is no practical reason NOT to skip the middle man in this case and buy a guitar directly from Valencia or dealer that gets them at cost (in other words cheap). The better brand I can personally recommend is Hermanos Sanchis Lopez, who build even top line guitars for Atocha Conde house.
