I'm quite partial to 7's as well. I have a Schecter Loomis C-7 and I've always been in love with it, but after reading Dark's post about the non-existent sustain I realized that I'm getting very little sustain out of my guitar. BUT that's the only downfall. It plays smoothly and has great tones.

I've always wanted to try an ESP though. Unfortunately, there aren't any retailers in my area that carry ESPs. Just LTDs.
