Another Ibanez man! Nice choice, Cho! What model RG's are those? What pickups are you rocking? I'll try to get some pics of my collection up as soon as I can, can't let myself fall behind!
nthfinity: If anything get the Strat (IMO there are better ones than the SRV one). I have a Gibson Les Paul Standard, and I can tell you that its probably the biggest mistake I've made in my life, it sounds awful, weighs a ton, is really uncomfortable to play and has TERRIBLE build quality.
If you're going for that price range, have you ever considered an Ibanez Jem or Satriani model? Next time you're at a guitar store, try one, you might be pleasantly surprised at how easily it plays compared to anything else, and how powerful the pickups are. (mind you, only the expensive, made in Japan Ibanez's are worth it, the Korean ones aren't anything to write home about).
Anyway, these are just friendly suggestions from someone who's been playing a long time, play as many guitars as you can until you find one that you REALLY like, after all, no two strats sound alike.
