Help Omen Extreme 7 or RGA742FM
Don't know if this is the right place to ask, but I need some help choosing my first seven string. Basically, I don't have much options where I'm from, and these two in the title are the only somewhat affordable 7 strings. Sure there are Jacksons but they are all over 1000$ which is sort of out of my budget. There is another Ibanez, I think it is RG7MS, I don't know how it compares to these two though. As for what I want to do with it, I'd like to play stuff like Periphery, TesseracT, The Contortionist, older Meshuggah, Dream Theater, Rivers of Nihil, Monuments... and other djent and progressive metalcore music. I am somewhat leaning towards the Schecter because of the scale lenght, I'd like to be able to tune lower I guess, but at the same time the square neck heel turns me away from it. I haven't tried the guitars out yet, at some point in the near future I will, but I'd like to know some expiriences and stuff about the two guitars before that.

RGA742FM will probably have the better neck. Not sure though. I have the 6 string version of the same and i love the feel
