Just my opinion though.

it's obvious from what you said you haven't had enough experience with one. Obviously you've not much experience with a real Original Floyd Rose tremolo. if you know what you're doing and the actual technical and physical way the bridge works it's really not that complicated at all, it takes maybe 5-10 extra minutes. i play in drop tunings all the time with my ESP M-II, i change strings monthly at least, no probs ever. with it set up right and a good guitar you really have nothing to worry about. as far as solidity goes, i could gig three days and beat the fuck out the M-II will stay in tune longer than any hardtail competitor and still ask for more. there is no bridge better than an Original Floyd Rose IMO, with the added things/fun! you can do the added 5-10 minutes of work seems like NO CHORE AT ALL!!!!!
Floyd Rose =
IMO
LOW PRICE RIP OFFS ARE A BITCH THOUGH! BUY ONCE CRY ONCE!!!!

I'm getting ashamed to say that Dimebag was the one who made me pick up a guitar, because of all the Dime stuff on the market. It's a shame they are using his death as a gain like this.

when i met Darrel i was too young to really get to know him but i'm sure he'd be disappointed, though i am glad of all the tribute stuff...seemed no one gave a damn about Quothorn from Bathory or Chuck from Death...seems it takes violence once more to wake the world
