Classical Guitar Nylon

Classical Guitar Nylon

Is it not practical to learn classical guitar when i want to play folk music?

I have the option between a Classical Nylon guitar or a Dreadnought Acoustic. I know most folk players use Steel String but i kind of prefer the warm soft sound of classical guitar. I like freak/avant/psychedelic folk, not really the loud bright stuff. i will be trying to learn both finger picking and strumming. So should i get the classical or find a dreadnought with a softer sound? thanks
please dont respond if you have useless answers like ralasinchains

Which ever you personally thinks sounds better is the best choice
