Great plan! :)[br][quote=jasim.hd]... I’m more concerned about the neck profile on both, especially on Professional – been playing Schecter thin-C neck all the time. What do you recommend? Or maybe suggest something else that might fit better with my modest skills, thus far?

Since you can't try one in person, the next best thing is the info on the web. You can also call and ask someone at a store, Fender or Sweetwater. It sounds like you want the thinnest C profile you can get. The modern Cs are pretty thin. These images give you some idea of the measurements & relative shapes/sizes.
