is it worth me getting an acoustic guitar when i have a classical?

Ive got a classical guitar that i play chords on, but it has the top three strings that are nylon, instead of metal. it does make a difference to the sound and i would love it to sound more like an acoustic. ]
is it worth getting a acoustic guitar?

Of course it’s worth it! It comes down to your personal satisfaction and enjoyment from playing music. You can’t really put a “value” on the joy you get from playing guitar and loving the sound and feeling of doing it. Get one. Enjoy it.
