I think the alvarez should sound better and play better than the washburn, and the washburn will play and sound better than the fender
i personally don't like fender acoustics; fender makes nice electric guitars, basses and amps, but makes cheap acoustics
as suggested, yamaha would also be a good type of guitar to look into
the most important part about buying a new guitar is trying it out before you buy it, and with cheaper guitars there might be factory errors that go unnoticed. so try before you buy, and you'll end up getting what you like
