There are still some that think the neck PU is moved to accommodate the extra frets which only proves they cannot detect the difference in length of each.

I read it twice and must have missed it.
I`m not convinced to be honest.

Imo:
Pros: I really like the headstock.
Cons: no back plate. come on, tone is in the back plate.

aww dude, thank you but I have strats in bits and one with no strings. I have one that I LOVE and will never sell.
I don't know why I`m commenting on this thread so much.
I would take the silver one over an EG. if I had the choice of course, Tahiti looks nice, now where's the soap

I would probably wait for the SE edition, but that's me.

Note it's released as a signature model, so if it dies on it's arse, it remains a signature model. If they sell like warm, sweet baked goods, then wager your buttocks it will enter the range permanently.
