Im currently looking into getting the variax guitar but not sure which model is the best one to get.

As far as i know they all do the same electronically and its the instrument quality that differs between models.

I will get one, but which one???

At the moment i have a les paul and a music man john petrucci model. I love the les paul to play live but the music man sounds awsome for recording. I think im looking at something in-between these guitars which makes me believe the 600 is the go.

I understand the 700 is based on the les paul and the 600 on the strat.

I guess this is not a question on sound as i know the L1/Variax/XTlive combo is pretty much spot on for any type of sound. Im looking to hear some feedback on the feel of the guitars.

Any thoughts?

You need to get your hands on them to compare.
The neck shape is different and that's a big part of playing comfort.

I wish my 700Acoustic had a taylor neck... but no choice in the acoustics...

The other choice is with or without trem bridge.
I like a fixed bridge but most rockers like the extra feature of that whammy bar.

The higher the $, the higher the build quality.

700 feels great, 600's more like a strat kinda feel, 500 isn't generally around anymore and there's 300.

Soundwise the tend to have the some sounds, 500 and 700 have 3 internal chips, 300 and 600 have two of them.

The 'wood' quality plays a little fator in the tone brought forward.

If you're looking for an Variax acoustic. there's the 700 and soon to be 300 in a nylon and string version. Different type of modeling.

When i have more on the modelingdifferences I'll post it
