Personally I've got a tanglewood parlour (this one, but electro-acoustic: https://www.gear4music.com/Guitar-and-Bass/Tanglewood-TWJPS-Exotic-Java-Parlour-Acoustic-Natural-Gloss/2L9Q) and absolutely love it, the size is great for a combo of playability and sound. If you didn't want to stretch to £350 keep an eye on reverb and ebay, lots of interesting parlours come up and it's a nice option.
This parlour from Vintage (sort of the btwin of the guitar world) also looks a nice option: https://www.gear4music.com/Guitar-and-Bass/Vintage-V880-Acoustic-Parlour-Guitar-Cedar-Top-Natural/IV0

A few weeks into lockdown i dug out a little soprano ukele my wife gave me about 10 years ago and have enjoyed playing it, signed up for an app that has some lessons and have enjoyed progressing through that, but its very small and although i'm a shortarse i find lots of chords very cramped so i've been thinking about upgrading to a concert uke and buying something a bit more refined, but while on guitar websites thought about potentially just changing course and learning to play the guitar instead (i realise 6 strings is a lot more complex and sure there's a bunch of other stuff ive not even considered yet) but i'm not sure which direction to head in and looking for some advice!
in my head a smaller acoustic guitar will be easier to manage, I dont want to spend a fortune but i dont want to buy something that im going to want to replace again in 6 months time, and it will sit on display in my home office so i need to like the way it looks too.
so considering the following options:
Fender Malibu Player (has electric options built in so has plenty of room to grow right at the top of what i could conceivably spend and worry a lot of the budget is going on the electric bit that i may never use)

Fender Sonoran Mini (worry a mini will be comedy small and limiting really soon)
