it depends on how advanced you are with classical music. if you're really good, then i'd say get a good one, but classical guitars can be super fucking expensive. if you're not good and just want one to fuck around with, just get a cheap ibanez or like yamaha. i got an ibanez classical guitar for free, and being that i don't play much classical music, it suits me just fine. if classical is a style you're willing to pursue, then spend good money and get one worth having

Please bear in mind that an acoustic guitar and a classical guitar are very different. The acoustic guitar is generally played with picks because its harder to play steel strings with fingers. Not to say you cant. The classical can be played with fingers or pick. Each has very different styles of playing as well as how you hold it. An acoustic guitar is usually played like one would normaly see someone playing guitar, with half the body sticking out on the right side of the body and the other half between the legs. The classical is played with the bottom of the body leaning against the right leg on the inside of the thigh and the curve sites on the left leg having the neck pointing upwards.
Classical position

Acoustic
Pros - Small frets, cut out for higher fret access
Cons - steel strings are harder to push down


Classical
Pros - Nylon strings are easy to press
Cons - Huge ass frets

the necks on classical guitars are also pretty fucking mammoth. most people who play classical guitars don't use pics because they can damage the nylon strings fairly easy.
