Is the Yamaha F310 going to be a good purchase for me to start learning acoustic guitar with?

Reviews say that it's large/jumbo - which I assume means the frets, is that good for a beginner? The other alternative that I'd been made aware of was the Yamaha C40 - it seems to be much smaller and labelled as 'classical', when my interest lies in soft rock:

Actually, the "Jumbo" refers to the size and shape of the body. Smallest to largest, acoustics typically go Classical - Dreadnaught - Jumbo. As far as ease of playing, Classicals are usually the most comfortable to play and lend themselves more to fingerpicking, and are quieter, while Jumbos are pretty big and bulky, and are the loudest (and have more bass). Dreadnaughts fall in between, leaning a bit more towards the big/loud end of the spectrum.
