Consider, in lieu of the Godin, adding the same pickup
system (RMC) to your nylon of choice. The pickup set is $250, I'd guess
installation would be another $200.
I
had a classical guitar made by William Cumpiano, with the RMC pickups installed.
This is the guitar I'll be playing the last day I'm on
Earth.
The
Godin instruments are great, though.

Todd,
there's always the solidbody Epiphone Chet Atkins - you can find them for $200
or so. They're a far sight below the Gibson version in terms of build quality,
but I figure at that price one could mess around with pickups and try to get a
better sound. And there's almost zero acoustic projection or feedback
issues. I'd like to get one just for late-night quiet-time
playing.

What I've never liked about running my nylon classicals through
my
effects rig is the disparity between the accoustic sound of the
guitar
riding over the sound coming from the speakers. For
example, when
laying down a loop, I'm hearing both the accoustic sound
plus the
electric passed through the looper (& effects). The
sum, in this
situation, is greater than what actually gets layed down in
the loop
and subsequently played back. It makes it a pain to
balance the
levels.
Of course, there's also the feedback issues
as well. Gotta have those
notch filters tuned up.
I've
considered (when I win the lottery) picking up a Godin Multiac.
Nylon
strings full classical scale & neck width, but built to be
plugged
in with minimal accoustic projection. Dreamy. Maybe I'll
sell off some of my old gear.
