Replace old Schecter Jeff Loomis to new Schecter (Banshee Elite 7 vs KM-7 MKii)

[Max Gain]

Hello!

I want to replace my old Schecter Jeff Loomis NT to some new models.
I got this guitar about 3 years ago and I understand that i dont like ergonomics: fat neck and TOM bridge. EMGs are okay, but no coil split. And I thing this guitar have too much lows and not so much middle and bite.

And just want something new and last sevenstring guitars from Schecter are so sexy.

I am thinking between Schecter Banshee Elite 7 and Schecter KM7 MK-ii.

Main difference between them is body shape and pickups.
I dont worry about Schecter Supercharger Pickups i think they are Ok.
What can you say? What is better?
Do you think this upgrade worth or it will be in same sound league as my old jeff loomis guitar?

Thank you for opinions!

I'd go for the Elite.

They should be at the same build quality level and should be solid instruments overall.
As you say, the only 'large' differences are pickups and body shape; thus, it really comes down to what shape you like better and what pickups you want.

Also, the controls and their positioning on the body are different. Personal preference there too though

Both looks great and probably sounds awesome as well.
Personally I'll pick KM especially mk I in white really gets me!
