They had one at Steve's and one at Italmélodie....

Yes, that's true, but it has the bigger, rounder horns that both Eclipse and Mirage have, as opposed to the thin, sharp horns that the original Interceptor has. I would say the body is slightly thicker at the edges than a Horizon, and a bit more like a Schecter that way.
I've never played an M-307 or an MH, so I can't say. The neck is a bit thicker than the H-207 and H-307, however, but not grossly so. Much different profile than the H-307, with that 'thin-U' you refer to. The Agile Pro has a very pronounced "C" shape more like a Schecter, albeit not that thick.
I was busy all weekend and only had a chance to play around with it a bit for a few minutes last night before I went to bed. But yeah, I'm still happy with it. It plays and sounds nicer than you'd expect from a $600 guitar. It's definitely going to be my main guitar until the KXK shows up, and I'll probably keep it even after that. I'd say that anybody looking for a sub-$1000 7-string with 25.5" scale should seriously consider this guitar.
I'll see if I can take some pics this evening of the cavities and give a few more comments.

weren't you the guy who said these things were of poor quality?
yea but hey I can and most likely will sell it after a month.
Ok, here are a couple of pics of the cavities. Low quality, but no one ever accused me of being a great photographer. The light in my studio is very poor.
The first one shows both cavities. As you can see, there is plenty of room in the control cavity for a battery, which would have eliminated the need for the battery box, but there you go. Electronics installation appears pretty clean to me.
Next we have a closeup of the trem cavity. You can see how the two middle screw holes are drilled way too close to the edge of the cavity. Also, you can see how the rout is angled to provide room for the springs. My handiwork in stripping the bass-side claw screw, fortunately, remains hidden.

That's just a poorly-designed cavity for the trem springs. It should not be the full width required for the trem block all the way down. That's why the screws missed the mark.
I'm sure Kurt will scream at the factory again and have it fixed for the next run.

Very true--I hadn't noticed that. I'm used to the Jackson-style recessed cavities where the cover sits flush to the body and there is some routing around the entire width of the cover, so this didn't jump out at me.

Body looks a LOT like a schecter on this batch, and that's a great top. 
apart from the screws for the cover being too close to edge of the cavity the routes look pretty tidy, especially the control cavity, but you're right about the battery, they could have fit it in there and done with out the seperate compartment.
Interesting. I prefer having the battery compartment as it means you don't need a screwdriver to change the battery. Personal preference I guess.

Methinks its a little more "pro" to have a battery compartment. 'Course if you want to go 18 volt it may suck.
Did they need it, probably not. Do I appreciate them adding it anyway, definitely.
I don't really mind having the battery compartment--definitely more convenient, although EMG batteries last so long that it's not a big deal either way.
That's freakin' gorgeous.
The only thing I don't like is that Agile needs a morelookin' logo.
Only thing that has kept me from buying one. UNTIL NEXT WEEK!

Here's what the original Interceptor route looked like:
At least we got the rubbing issue resolved, now if we can just get them to leave more tonewood
. They had one at Steve's and one at Italmélodie....
Fuck man i guess the sails guy smoked to much that day
