Your BKP's won't fit the RGA properly without some routing and probably some conversion rings to hide the gaps. You will also need to install a ground wire when switching from active to passive pickups.
I've played both and prefer the ARZ, but your average shred guy will prefer the RGA for its thinner neck and bigger frets.
I think both pale in comparison to the rg7x2x's. You can score a rg7421 if you want a fixed bridge, (or the 7420 if you want a trem) for less than you can buy these. And they're just all around better guitars.
Thanks for the replies guys! I tried RGA7 today and because I'm used to a bit fatter necks it felt a bit strange. But I think it's only a matter of time when it starts to feel comfy. The pup replacement thing is indeed a lot easier on the ARZ. I also tested ARZ700 and liked the way it played. I'm still not sure if I'd like the 25'' though.
If you are used to fatter necks and like the 6-string ARZ, I'd advise going with the ARZ for a 7. The scale length is not an issue IMO unless you're tuning way down like in the E, F, G area.
