Before you mentioned your hands were small i was going to tell you to get the 27" scale version instead of the 25.5 for the interceptor
Anyways, i really like my loomis, its maple fretboard definatly looks really dirty all the time no matter how much i clean it. The loomis is also a really heavy guitar. I cant really say much about the others because i haven't played them, unless you count a c6; which i found to be extremely uncomfortable because its neck was too big. I have really big palms so i find the loomis really comfy. Some other small handed person on this board probably has a loomis as well, you should get there input. Sorry i couldnt help much.
