The neck dive shouldn't a problem for me - Its easy enough to move the strap button like I did on my alpine white epibird which made it balance perfectly.

Ha, exactly where I put the strap button on mine.
3 things I can think of: Its not going to sound like a thunderbird but neither does a Gibson cos the pickups are different to the originals, only a set of Mike Lulls will get you close, plus its active and no T-Bird has ever been active. The strap button is already on the back, probably as far forward as you can get it so you can't do the same mod that we've both done. The neck heel is curved so there isn't a flat surface to put it.
Also reading into them, a lot of users have complained about the frets being susceptible to premature wear.
And one last personal thing, I think the extra tuner on the bottom looks wrong, I wish they had been able to put all 5 on the top but that would've meant an extended headstock which would've made the balance even worse.
All annoying as I too had been thinking about getting one for a while.
