The goal is for a classical guitarist to feel at ease when playing the synth instrument.

I know about Yamaha and Roland models, but have no idea about their respective advantages...

This sounds like a shopping recommendation question. – Luke Jul 31 '12 at 17:55
In its current form I agree with Luke that this amounts to a shopping recmmendation, which is off-topic here. If you'd like us to help you learn to evaluate synth guitars -- e.g., "What should I look for in a synth guitar?" -- you'll have to provide more criteria for answerers. For example, what you mean by "ease" and other specific things that are important for your playing. Check out the FAQ and feel free to revise this along those lines or to otherwise better match the site guidelines! – Matthew Read Aug 1 '12 at 5:11

Godin and Carvin make affordable production model nylon-string "classical" guitars with a Roland-compatible 13-pin output that you can plug into a guitar-to-MIDI interface such as those made by Roland. You should also look at the computer-based interface called the StringPort, from Keith McMillan Instruments.
