I've always found the bigsby to be the sexiest thing to ever happen to a guitar.

Everdying: Oh that was in response to Thor666 saying that the neck, body and ergonomics of a guitar must fit us well before we can settle into playing. My PRS has a wide thin neck that I just don't dig as well as the wide fat. Sadly it was the only custom 22 available at Davis.
Ah, I can live without a trem and I rarely use it - Still hadn't sorted out certain nut binding problems. But if a trem is present it's nice to have it add variety to playing. It's like certain phrases played just sound so nice when you do a subtle flutter at the end. It's a whole new dynamic thing - just like using a wah pedal to talk. I guess I'm worried about tuning stability for the most part and drop D tuning will be difficult with a floating trem.
So conclusion is that I will most certainly use a trem if it's available but if it's not then I'm pretty fine with it too. Now what do I do.. flip a coin?

Well thanks for your input guys!
The tone that I've always been looking for in my head is this:

It's the black and white guitar (modern eagle) that PRS himself is playing. The tone especially during the riff is insane - full bodied, matured and alot of authority!
However during the solo (albeit not very well executed) =p the pick attack is really noticeable hence I would want to go for the trem modern eagle instead - listen to carlos and orianthi's playing and you notice one note blending into the next.
Btw, is an "open sounding" tone opposite to that of a "punchy, focused" tone? As a benchmark the modern eagle in the video is focused right? Haha it's so difficult to explain a guitar tone using words.
