@Schmeep, first of all, I’m seriously glad that it worked out for you, but I really have to go along with @JT on this point . . .
I wanted a Gibson SG bass for many years, and they didn’t have one in stock at the local GC, so I tried the Epiphone version on display. I immediately disliked it . . . but I talked myself into thinking that the “real” Gibson would be better, so I bought one on-line, because it was so aesthetically pleasing to me personally and I wanted it so badly 
When it arrived, I really tried to like it at first, but I should have gone with my gut feeling in the GC store when I tested the Epiphone. As the weeks and months went by, I played it less and less, disliking it more and more, and now it just sits there next to my desk. 
. . . . (It does look great, though! 
)

Bottom line: if it feels great when you test it, and it feels right when you test it, and you like it right away, then you will probably enjoy it for a long time to come.
Cheers, Joe
