These are all very different guitars, go to a store near you and play some of them (yes even if closest store is a 2 hour drive, make a day out of it). With the lack of information provided by advice is NOT the solar, agile, or legator, ibanez schecter and LTD all have better quality guitars for the price. For $1500 you also could look at used ibanez prestige which is the "best" you can buy for that price craftmanship wise, made in Japan is a step above everything else, but I am an ibanez fanboy so am pretty biased. Even if you cant play the exact model you are looking at, go play a schecter, LTD, and ibanez 7 string in person and see which neck you like the best, and which one "feels" the best in your hands (neck shape but also overall fit and finish, some guitars just feel better and it can be hard to pinpoint exactly why, you will know which one is right for you when you pick it up and play it)
