Well, my Christmas present had to go back, big crack on the headstock. ive been looking at these two guitars to replace it;

LTD Viper 407

Or

Ibanez Xiphos 7 string

Planning on tuning the 7th string to A, and i play mostly metal, on this guitar.
Suggestions?

I think the Viper is just beautiful so for looks I'd pick that one. The Xiphos also looks cool but a bit too much for my taste.
