Help with 7 string decision

I've been looking endlessly and I can't decide. Have it narrowed down to a small handful.
Schecter Mach 7 Banshee
Schecter C7 Sls elite
Solar AB1
Jackson Pro Plus DK modern
The only one I've actually played was the Banshee. I was very unimpressed but I think the setup just sucked. Going to try a different one tomorrow.
Otherwise on paper schecter is my jam. I had a KM7 and a Reaper and loved the neck on both.
Used to love Jackson in the 90s but I've never tried a Jackson 7 and I have no idea how they are these days.
Never touched a solar in my life but I saw one that looks amazing.

I would definitely go back to the KM7. Probably the best guitar Schecter has ever made.

Not a bad idea but while it sounded great the Fishman were just kind of lackluster. No character to me

Don't they make them with different kinds of pickups? Also hardtail and trem versions? I know that the ones I have played did not Fishmans.

Yeah, I see that some come with Lundgrens now.

Yep, thats the Banshee. And the one I thought I wanted the most. Played one at GC last week and it not play well. There's another one at the other GC by me and I may check that out tomorrow.

The KM7 Legacy also has Lundgrens.

TBH if I went that route I might as well get the artist again and swap pickups. Wouldn't mind trying the legacy but wouldn't get one blind unless it was for a steal.
Maybe a MK-ii
