HELP! Can't decide which bass to buy!

[N8theGr8]

I'm currently in the market for either a PRS SE Kingfisher or a Sire M7. I've done fairly extensive research on both basses and they both seem to fit the bill I'm looking for. Unfortunately there aren't any shops anywhere near me that carry either bass, and buying the bass without playing it scares me a bit. I was hoping that some people could give me a recommendation based on prior experience or good knowledge of the basses or companies. Personal opinions are welcome!

I love the thru neck of the kingfisher, and on top of that it's a PRS. The Sire however has just a ton of tonal settings, and after playing my current bass I have become a believer in preamps. I play an Epiphone Tobias deluxe 4 string by the way.

If your worried I have the same problem living in SW Oklahoma. I just do the research and deal w someone who gives me a good return policy. I've bought more than one bass keeping my fingers crossed.
