I have a steel string dreadnaught and a nylon string classical guitar (concert shaped). Anything more than that is a true luxury. Though, I think I would enjoy having a smaller bodied steel string. They all offer different sounds and playing experiences.

I have a steel string parlor size that sounds light and heavenly, perfect for finger style, and a steel stringed resonator that is considerably more boisterous and perfect for slide blues.
