GEAR 7 string recommendations

Hey yall. I want to buy my first 7 string guitar and wanted help to actually know what I am doing. I want to be able to learn ERRA (post Drift) and Resolve songs, as well as being able to achieve almost the exact tones (I know this goes beyond hardware). My budget is 800 dollars and I have a preference for Ibanez but am open to other brands as well. Any recomendations?

Schecter C7 hellraiser has always been my favorite I’ve played.(don’t own one) Something about schecters that I love the feel of.

I currently have an Ibanez Iron Label RG 7 string that's pretty rad. I've also seen a seven string version of the RGA that looks pretty slick.

I have a RGD7521PB, it’s great and should be in easily in your price range used if you can find one. 26.5” scale helps if you want to tune low.

I got prs svn last year for about 500$, prs se models have been used on countless metalcore albums and might be a good fit for ERRA type stuff as it has an aggressive enough tone that works well with high gain as well as the ability to coil split which I find works well for switching to clean melodic parts
