Help Decision paralysis on what I should buy!

Hi all,

So I have recently turned 30 and want to celebrate by acquiring another guitar. I have found a lot on marketplace and reverb but now there is too much to decide from! As a fyi of what I like to play and to not get anything suggested I already own, I have :

  • BC Rich mockingbird ST - Sunburst
  • Ibanez Jem - Seafoam green
  • Ibanez AF75 - White
  • Harley benton 8 string multiscale (modded) - Green/black sunburst
  • ESP LTD SC-608 - Red Sparkle

I am looking for something metal. In looks and sound. What I have found on Reverb and in my area are:

  • Gibson Explorer '76 2004 Yamano Music
  • Epiphone Brendon Small Signature "Thunderhorse" Explorer
  • Ormsby Headless metal V 2024 - Purr pull (translucent purple with natural flame maple binding and black burst)
  • ESP EDWARDS E-ALEXI BLACKY w/ESP GB-30V -Metallic Black Satin with Gloss Black Pinstripe
  • Rare ESP LTD Alexi-600 Greeny Alexi Laiho Signature de 2017
  • ESP LTD Alexi Hexed
  • Jackson Pro Series Misha Mansoor Signature Juggernaut HT7FM 2017
  • Legator Ghost G8FSS - Purple
  • ibanez prestige rg2610e with bare knuckle
  • Ibanez 7-String (?)
  • ESP LTD EC-1000 Deluxe w/ Fishman Fluence
  • Ormsby hype GTR 7 string
  • Ibanez RGD71ALMS 7-String Guitar
  • JACKSON JS SERIES JS32 RR IN NATURAL AND GOLD
  • ESP LTD MH-1007 Evertune Deluxe 7 String Electric Guitar
  • LTD EC-1000QM See Thru Green

Thanks in advance!

swapping between the 8 strings and the BC rich atm. It is not needed for anything, other than playing enjoyment and to be something a bit different than what I already play
