I read somewhere that the blades on the trems like the Schaller are separate pieces of inferior metal to the plate and can wear. It's better if you take the one-piece-plate Ping model. Although Schaller is an excellent make.

I have both types though on different guitars and although not Ping or Schaller...I have had no problems with either. Doesn't help you much does it?! I'd get the cheaper Ping. I think they look better and the brass components are very strong.

No, I think you should upgrade, but no need to spend the extra money for the Schaller... Even most of the licensed Floyds I have seen the past 10 years are excellent quality. I have gigged with several licensed Floyds with no problems at all. I say go for it
