In my experience, most Epi LPs are more similar than different. Most have the same pickups and electronics, similar or identical necks, etc. The differences are mainly cosmetic. Personally, if I were to choose a Epi LP, I'd pick the one that was most attractive to me. One of the really nice things about EPI LPs is that they have been enormously popular, thus providing a very plentiful inventory in the used market. Prices at about 50% of street price when new are not at all uncommon.
