Well the Schecter has an original Floyd and the ESP has a licensed one, so I guess that's a +1 for the Schecter. But honestly I wouldn't made that the deciding factor, these 2 axes are very similar in all aspects and both come from very good reputable companies that are known for producing great guitars, so it all boils down to trying both of them out and going with what feels and sounds the best to you. Anyhow, you can't really go wrong either way, they're both great guitars.
