If I do buy a new Calfee, I will most like go with a nude finish mainly because it looks more durable. How difficult is it to put a scratch in the nude frame?

Nude isn't a finish as much as it is a lack of finish, it's the bare carbon. If you scratched the nude, you would be scratching the carbon itself. No paint or clearcoat to take the punishment. I've had both painted, clear-coated and nude Calfee's. To my eye nude is somewhat industrial looking. Others love it for its difference.
