I am after a smaller 'parlour' style acoustic and these two stand out. I know the V300 gets a lot of love on here (maybe fully deserved?) but I have reservations over the nut width and string spacing and that is a big concern for 'flabby fingers' me. The Cort,while being a nice Mahogany and it's Vintage equivalent (Mahogany version is around £50 dearer and Spruce is around £30 more expensive) also has a 45mm string spacing that caught (no pun intended!) my eye. Of course the Cort is a genuine parlour size while the Vintage is a touch bigger bodied and this makes little difference to me personally but that 45mm on a parlour is certainly eye catching even though the quality of the Cort may be up for debate.
I would love to hear any experiences of the two,particularly the Cort as if it is poor quality I won't enetertain it but will look for more of a wider nut and similar price bracket to compare with the V300.
Cheers for future replies. I'm sure the V300 will get lots of love and support going by previous discussions.

Don't know the Cort.
V300 spruce for me any and every day -
but you know the real answer is - try it first sausage fingers you might get on with the Vintage
just because you do, doesn't mean you should.
You're right about the nut width though, you can't go by measurements alone, there's the overall feel too.
