Do all classical guitars feel like cardboard?

I just started playing guitar 2 months ago. I have a Yamaha CG122MCH and I hate the way it feels. It feels way too light and flimsy, like it's going to break apart in my hands.

By comparison, my Yamaha FS830 acoustic feels solid and well-built. It feels much better in my hand. I guess an acoustic needs additional bracing because of the tension from the steel strings, but it just feels like a well-made instrument.

I was looking to upgrade to a Cordoba C10, or possibly a used C12. Will those have the same paper mache type feel that the CG122 has?
