Alright, after seeing the posts, i was discouraged from buying the Epi, but nonetheless, i went in, flipped a quarter 5 times saying heads was the epi and tails the Dean, and Epi won, did it again 5 times, tails being the Epi, and heads being the Dean and stilll the Epi won, so i went with my instincts and am going to buy the Epiphone. If i get a completely crappy guitar, ill send it back and get the Dean. But thanks everyone for the comments, when it arrives ill be sure to post again and tell you how it went.
