Question ESP LTD M-102 or Ibanez Xiphos?

Hi want to ask what would be better? an ESP LTD M-102 or Ibanez Xiphos? I was all set to get the ESP LTD M-102 since .. they are on sell here in a local guitar store .. and since they are made in Korea .. so might as well spend the cash .. but recently having some GAS for the Xiphos ... In terms of Quality Control which guitar would you guys think would be better?

Thanks!

Xiphos mang! Don't let the MII thang bug you, the Xiphos was one of the few that I thought felt really solid.

The xiphos seems to be better quality than that M2. Go for it.
