I have a friend with a Ibanez custom guitar, with a Floyd-Rose. His style has changed a lot from Van Halen (why he originally wanted the Floyd-Rose) to perfecting John Petrucci(Dream Theater), and now to softer song writing where the Floyd-Rose is such a nuisance that he jams pennies through the back side to help it stay in tune better.
I don't know if you would be into it as well, but you can always change out the pickups at a later date if your style changes. I am a beginner, with a cheap Ibanez POS. Although I haven't changed the pickups yet, I did rewire my humbuckers and went from a 3 position pickup switch, to a 5 position that mimics a PRS guitar. It cost me a total of $20 for pots and knobs, then just a bit of time to redo the electronics. Sounds much cooler! That's why I would say to make sure you like the feel of the guitar, and the wood its made of.
