Width is similar at the nut, but string spacing of Santos is wider due to a wider bridge. So overall feel is that the neck of Santos is slightly wider.
The Santos guitar sounds brighter and louder than HBO-850 and it is also way more responsive. So if I had to choose between these two budget guitars I would go for the Santos. But... nothing beats the sound of the high end classical guitar :)
For the price Hbo 850 is far away the winner... the Santos doesn't sound nice... (Boxy sound), the Alhambra is just a bit warmer and detailled than the Hbo but so few that for the price 10 times higher it's no interest... The playability of the Hbo is also exceptionnal... (I have played on it).

Whats your opinion? Sound and playability wise
