Hey guys, I want to buy a new 7 string Guitar for cheap, and I decided to buy a Cort, but I can't decide between EVL-Z47 and EVL-K47B.
The EVL-Z47(not made anymore, but found one in a music shop near me, last one in the country ):

Pros(imo):
+Looks awesome
+Older Cort models were built better and were considered the best in their price range, beating more expensive guitars
Cons:
-25.5" neck
-Only 22 frets
The EVL-K47B(current only 7 string made by Cort, hard to find):
http://www.cortguitars.com/en/product/evl-k47b
Pros:
+24 frets
+27" neck
Cons:
-Ugly as hell
-newer Corts are more flimsy
My friend also told me that longer neck makes the lows sound more clear, so that could also be a plus for the K47B.
I'm not an experienced guitar player, this will be my first own guitar, but I played bass for 3 years and keys(piano) for 8 now.
The tuning I would use is half step down or (Bb).
My main musical preference is modern/technical metal, like this:
