Well, first of all, when you're looking for a new guitar, you should look for the best thing that you can find for what you're willing to spend on it...
When I bought my acoustic guitar I was really short on cash so i couldn't afford a really expensive one (btw, when i say "acoustic" i usually mean phosphor-bronze strings, "classical" is always nylon and "acoustic nylon" is a guitar with "acoustic" design and nylon strings). I went hunting for deals and ended up buying
an ibanez artwood aw-100ce (made in korea). wasn't that expensive. not the best guitar in the world too. but it sure suited my needs. It has a fishman piezo pickup (probably a low priced model...), Grover tuners and a solid engleman spruce top. It sounds pretty good in my opinion, and it was certainly a good purchase.

The Antonio Lorca amplified classical cutaway (what a long definition
) model 1015 is the best guitar I could find here. I was pretty upset with Admira... I've had an Admira Sevilla for years. A nice classical guitar (not amplified) and unfortunatly i managed to break it's back! I own a Seat Ibiza 95 - the trunk there closes without any problems because it's a hatchback car or whatever you call that. One Day I took my parents' Mitsubishi Charisma and put a lot of things in its trunk, the admira sevilla on top of everything in a lame gig bag... anyway, when I tried closing the trunk of the Charisma I heard a "krrrrraaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhk" and noticed that the metal piece holding the trunks door is actually going into the trunk through my guitar! I was really upset because you could easily see that the back was a cheap sandwich! not exactly what you'd expect from a spanish guitar that's not so cheap too... there are some nice high-end models made by admira but I just didn't bother looking for them because the closest store that has Admira guitars is about an hour away from here (with all the parking issues etc.) and i don't know anyone there and the store that has Lorca guitars is 5 minutes away. Long Story
Anyway, just go out there and try some guitars. I bought the Lorca without too much research - i tried it and it was just what i was looking for. The Sevilla sounded totally different and poor next to it. If you're on a budget you might find a guitar on "sale" somewhere for example...
What do you mean about ebony/bone pins? I really didn't think that much about it. I dislike the idea of using bone nuts/decorations just as much as I hate the idea of using real Abalone decorations on guitars. that's just not nice! a good synthetic decoration or guitar part can be just as good and more "human"... I can't really tell you if the Lorca has a bone decoration or nut really, i just don't know... it doesn't look that way. Admira have some designs with bone decorations, try
www.admira.es
someone i know recommended this non-cutaway model:

too bad it doesn't have the Fishman Prefix Pro Blend... (a system that blends a real mic inside your guitar and a piezo pickup).
and check this model's "Rosewood bridge with bone decoration". yuck!

As for nylon strings, I usually use Augustine for some reason... there are a lot of different strings out there, you should try as many as possible before you decide because the strings can really change the sound of your guitar... It also depends on what style you're playing and how the strings sound with your guitar...
With cheap guitars it doesn't really matter. the funniest thing - someone asked me "I have a classical guitar too, why doesn't it sound like yours?" and he's playing
an Admira Rosario
Anyway, happy guitar hunting
) For an amateur, I don't think a guitar should deplete $1000 in your wallet !!
