Wow! Looks like you found yourself a Takamine Martin clone! I have a ’76 Takamine Martin Clone 12 string. One piece of advise… use light guage strings on this one.
I’ve never heard of Kent guitars, but it looks really nice.
The Guitar Gods must have been smiling on you the day you found these. :p

Hi
Dean guitar company has a division called Luna guitars that was created for us ladies. They are lighter and really pretty too. 😉
Hi:
Before you go selling your Taylor,…. may I suggest that you try changing a few things?
I see that it has a Tusq nut and saddle. Tusq isn’t the best material for great sound and is often replaced by professional musicians. Why not take it to a local luthier and have bone ones fitted for it? Then add some bone or brass bridge pins.
In the end it’s up to you if you like the guitar or not, but there was a reason you bought this rose in the first place. Why not give her a chance?

Hi.
This seems to be a big problem for beginner guitarists. The problem is most beginners are so tense and for the most part perform a sort of death grip when fretting a chord.
Relax!
Next…
New guitarists tend to place their fingers in the following order: Pinky or Ring finger, middle then finally the index finger. Try reversing that order to: index (the root note of your chord) , middle and finally the ring finger. This way it gives your other fingers a chance to catch up while you begin your strum on the lower notes of the chord.
Finally,… try doing your chords while in a dark room or with your eyes closed. You’ll probably be surprised at how often you hit the chords without looking.
Good luck
