I see it as a student guitar. I've known a few students who have had an interest in playing the repertoire on an appropriate instrument, but the cost has been prohibitive. The 63cms string length is appropriate. I don't know what the braceing is. Aria make good instruments for the price range, so I don't think it would be so bad. What interests me is that they think there might be profit in such a specialist area. Is early 19thC guitar becoming trendy? Time to move on!
