All the guitars you mentioned are worse than your Ibanez Xiphos!!!
The Demmeliton is a Machine head signature guitar based on the cheapest Jackson Series, you pay some more for the artist name on the guitar. It's not bad with the EMG HZ pickups and the decent Liscensed Floyd but overall it would be a step down from the Xiphos which has a better tremolo and better pickups!
The V-300 is better than the Demmelition and features active EMG humbuckers... Quality wise it is as good as your Ibanez.
Try to get an ESP ltd V401, it is a big step up from the 300 quality wise (wood, hardware, etc). You might also wanna try the new Epiphone Annihlator Flying V...
The Dean VMNT is out of your price range but it is a really bad guitar, I had one for one day and brought it back to the store - just bad quality...
