Ec ii eclipse

Hey folks,

I'm thinking about getting the ec ii eclipse. And I'm looking for some opinions as there are no retailers that carry it in my area. 

Firstly, I have a number of LTD guitars (snakebite, truckster, ec-1000, clockwork zombie). Is the eclipse going to be that much of an upgrade for the price point? I ask this mostly in comparison to the ec-1000 as they appear to be similar guitars.

Second, if I'm going to pay this much for a guitar, would it be worth it to spend a little more on a custom?

Finally, is this a shred guitar? Most of my guitars feel more catered towards rhythm work (I play primarily heavy metal) and am looking for something that feels a bit faster with easier access to the higher frets. The ec-1000 is more of a shred guitar, unfortunately I had to leave it at home when I moved across the country. 

Cheers
