(acoustic) Dreadnought Vs Cutaway's

Hi my noobie question is regarding the difference between these two guitars. I had trouble finding related articles online so I hope I get some informative answers here.

I wanted to know if Dreadnoughts project better sound and tone than their cutaway versions?

I know that the advantage to cutaways are that you can play higher up on the neck, but my concern is all about sound, and if dreadnoughts sound better and I plan on spending hmmm about 1500$ which one should i go for?

if it helps, my style of music is fingerstlye, anyone know which type of guitar is best suited for this style?

thank you
