Hi! I´ve been looking at getting an LTD eclipse and would like to hear if anyone has any experience with the EC-331 and EC-401. Except for the hardware and electronics, is there any real quality difference? They both have actives, which i don´t like so the pickups don´t matter.

Like them or not, the 401 has higher quality (and more valuable) EMG 61 and 80. The 401 also features Grover tuners as opposed to the 331's ESP generic tuners.

Probably in the quality of the wood and looks. I'd save up for the 401.

No, seriously. The difference is brand name hardware. Pickups and tuners. That's it. Otherwise identical guitars in every other aspect.
