Hi guys, what would you choose between the

ESP NT-7
http://bmusic.com.au/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=1_15_21&products_id=456

and

ESP EC-II 24-7
http://bmusic.com.au/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=1_15_21&products_id=3032

I know they sound different but I can't make up my mind between the two and I'm going to be ordering one probably at the end of the month
Also I can't try them out because it has to be ordered.

What I'm wondering about is how the strings are so close to each other on the EC-II 24-7 and slightly angled. I don't know if it would be an issue because I'm going to be using heavy strings on it and a .070 for the 7th string, would that be a problem on this guitar? Although I'm fine with the Sperzels on it as I have them in my LTD DV8-R as well and was able to hand drill to fit a .070 in it.

For the NT-7 I'm a little skeptic about the Gotoh Magnum locking tuners, I did some search on here and I think some of you guys own this guitar and I'd be really interested in hearing your thoughts about it like hows the durability compared to Sperzels/ keeping in tune and do you have any problems when stringing up? I've seen a couple of vids on youtube on the hassle.
