Difference between ESP Horizon NT-II STBK and DBSB? Help please

[simic]

Hey. I'm gonna purchase a new guitar soonish and I want an esp horizon II without a floyd for a very long time now. I usually buy all my stuff from thomann.de so I'm obviously gonna buy this guitar there too. However, there seem to be 4 different colours in which this guitar is available, and the thing is they all have different prices :zombie:
Here's the link to the 4 guitars: http://www.thomann.de/gb/search_dir...88c6de10c41dc5fe&sw=esp+horizon+nt+II&x=0&y=0
I'm particularly interested in the see-tru black and dark brown sunburst colours, however there is quite a big difference in price - about 155€. I've looked at the specs of both guitars, and it seems that there are 3 differences;
-STBK has a flamed maple top whereas DBSB has only a maple top
-The colour
-STBK has a tune-o-matic bridge whereas DBSB has a Gotoh TOM bridge - Since tune-o-matic is made by Gotoh, I assume that Gotoh TOM stands for tune-o-matic therefore the bridges are the same?

STBK: http://www.thomann.de/gb/esp_horizon_nt_ii_stbk.htm
DBSB: http://www.thomann.de/gb/esp_horizon_ntii_dkbsb.htm

My question is; is the STBK worth the extra 150€? Because I prefer the black colour, but I'm not willing to pay 150€ just for the colour.
PS. I have tried out the black variant a few months ago and I'm certain it's the guitar I want.

Cheers

-They are both flamed maple tops.
-I prefer the color on the DBSB personally. I've seen this guitar in person and it looks sick. Here are some pictures of a friend of mine using that exact guitar live:

-Yes, the bridges are the same.

They're the same guitar, so I do not understand why the price is so different. The DBSB should play exactly the same as the STBK, so if you're worried about that then don't worry about it.

It has to be that tune-o-matic bridge that causes it to be higher. Don't know much about the tune-o-matic but I hear it's one of the best bridges you can have on a guitar.

Basically you are paying a little extra for the bridge and the color, but if you say it's your dream guitar then you wont regret throwing out a few extra bucks.
