I did consider the EC256 a lot though. Lots of praise, but also lots of unfavorable reviews in the QC department from what I read, and its now RM1.9k new from Music Bliss so its making me extra cautious/wary.
anyway...if u ask me to get a LTD thats about rm2k...hands down my choice will be the viper 300m..ie the one without the flame veneer...cos phil x said so tongue.gif

Yes, many people are attracted to actives because of the cleanliness and punchy sound. You can see why they are prominent in heavy music because of these characteristics.

But it comes with cons as well, like the sterileness you mentioned.. sure you have read and evaluate based on those.

Majority of pros are not using actives, so its something to think about.

I like EMG81 cuz of high gain which is good for weak small amps. dont really need a distortion pedal too so generally much easier to setup for heavy metal. i have dimarzio X2N and DP100 but these EM81 just push through stronger.
