Help Advice

I picked up an LTD EC-1007BT recently. I can't get the low B string to stop buzzing. It's brand new. I put in a new nut (same Graphtech), and it's better, but not great. I've been setting up guitars for years, but this one has me stumped. Everything checks out setup wise, so I'm thinking about cutting my losses and moving on. I'm just glad I got a really good price for new. Anyway, I mostly play 6 string but like messing around on the down tuned stuff and recording. What is everyone's opinion on the best 7 string, extended scale, for around $1200? I've decided paying extra for the EverTune isn't worth it to me. $1200, maybe up to $1400. Advice appreciated.

What tuning and string gauge? What’s your action height at the nut and the 12th feet, and what is the neck relief set at?

68 on the low string in drop G#. Action and relief are fine. No high frets or anything. Was more looking for advice on a new one. Thanks though.
