ESP Eclipse 7 Evertune/ drop A on 25.5" scale?

Hi all,

I must I have terrible GAS for this particular guitar, but in the UK it's really hard (impossible so far) to find one in a shop to try out before buying.

I'd buy it blind, but one concern I have is how it handles drop A tuning, which I how I tune my guitars.

I'm a bit of a perfectionist when it comes to wobbly/unstable/oscillating low A, and out of my 3 guitars only the 26.5 scale Schecter gave me a dead-stable, powerful powerchord on the open-strings drop A. The other 25.5 guitars I have  (non-ESP) cope (with really thick strings, i.e. 68/75), but the A sound weaker, less bassy than on the 26.5 scale guitar if that makes sense and a bit less stable. I love how how comfy thwe 25.5 scale is and I absolutely love this guitar - do you think it can handle that tuning? I need a good sounding, super-stable guitar for album recording.
