"Vuelvo al sur" on 2 guitars + Guitar Talk

Guitarist Tariq Harb plays an arrangement of Astor Piazzolla's "Vuelvo al sur" on two different yet very similar guitars, for comparison reasons. This arrangement is by Gary Ryan. A short talk on double-top guitar construction and the difference between those two guitars follows after the performances.

Alright friends, I do need your attentive ears for this one! Do you hear any differences between these two double-top guitars? Both guitars are constructed by Sergei de Jonge from Québec, Canada using the same woods, except for the core of the top. One is constructed using balsa wood and the other using Nomex. I talk a little bit about the differences that I hear between the two, and I'm interested to know your opinion. Let me know in the comments what differences you hear, if any, and which one you prefer!
