I would play them both and watch the prices as the Traditional Pro II which is an exclusive to GC is on sale at the Guitar a thon for $1399. Frankly you can't beat it for the price its a no brainer. I imagine they will be discontinued and probably are only a few left around. Studios go for that.
The locking tuners work great as do the split coils and 10db boost.
Standards, least when I owned one in 05 had one-piece mahogany back. I don't believe this changed. The Traditional may have two or one.
I played a few Traditional LPs that came by here. A Mahogany Satin top and 60-RI Satin Sam Ash exclusive. I prefer the 57 and 57+ pick-ups both had for sure, the BB-3 in the bridge works great also. That said out of all of them I like that $1399. Traditional Pro II the best as it has a 50 neck, slightly better feel IMHO. Also the 57 classic neck combined with the BB-3 bridge is an amazing combination.
The electronics is a personal issue. I have heard complaints about coil-taps etc. I haven't had any issue at all. I also have an EE degree. IMHO the Gibson's tricked out with electronic options should definitely be considered. This is an area where Gibson has finally expanded and doing an impressive job if you ask me.
