Help me decide which to get (Silo Special or JP6)

Hi all, first time poster here. I’ve been talking EBMM on another forum and thought I’d go right to the source. I really want to drink the Kool-Aid and get my first , but I’m left handed so my options are very limited.
I’ve narrowed it down to a Silhouette Special (used or new old stock) or a JP6. I play a variety of styles but mostly blues and rock. I find myself lately spending more time learning shreddy licks and I’m not sure if a Silo is a great shred machine in itself, or if I should go for the JP6 to fill that need. I prefer the aesthetics and HSS combo of the Silo to some degree, but the SS frets, Piezo and thin neck are favorable to the JP6.

Can any informed voices speak to this dilemma and help me figure it out? I can’t find any lefties in person to play so it’s difficult to really make an informed decision on my own. Thanks’
