thinking about picking either a hellraiser 7 or loomis model myself. i kinda want to hold out and see if they make the loomis in another color with a gloss finish.

I am extremely biased towards Ibanez.

I'd say that's pretty close to mine. I'd just change it a little to...

A) Ibanez RG7421
B) Ibanez RG7620
C) Ibanez 1527 or K7 (if you're lucky)
D) Ibanez Universe or EBMM JP7

and if you want to spend TONS of money: Ibanez J-Custom or a custom-made guitar.

0 > * > 400 : RG762x
401 > * > 700 : venture a Hellraiser?
701 > * > 1000 : UV or Ikebe 7
1001 > * : for this much, you'd better be getting close to a custom.

What would you have in place of a UV?

i'd take the UV (or J-custom) in that price range, i'm just saying that i own all the other guitars on that list minus a UV (and K7)
