Your Floyd will not stay in tune permanently, plus you will have to change your strings now and again. They are a b*tch to tune and I have a love/hate relationship with them. Temperature and humidity will affect even a Floyd from day to day, place to place. You don't seem like a stranger to research :) , so I'd recommend taking the time to become self-sufficient in that. Just my opinion.

Back to the OP... I've considered (and still do) purchasing a LP at $2500+, but I can't bring myself to do it. The "highest end" instrument I own pricewise is my SG. I own probably 15 guitars, including acoustics, ranging from (used) $40 to $1300. My $40 Yamaha 3000 (essentially a hard tail Strat that was a project guitar) is one of the smoothest playing I own. I have an $800 Soltero and I have yet to play a better actioned guitar. Don't get caught in the Corporate Hype. It's BS. There are many fine guitars that don't have that pricey label. Just sayin' :)
