I would say Ibanez is a good choice, never had one but could be a good try, on the other hand, shecter has some pretty cool guitars on the price range, and to be honest in my personal taste, whammys are fun for some time but tunning and changing strings is a living hell at least for me.

I would recomend the shecter Hellraiser (7 string model)... I want that guitar sooo bad, it's around the 700 US dollars price tag and it's a complete beauty.

Hope the advice helps a bit.

Rock on bro.
