Hi SG - when you say input/suggestions - do you mean which guitar you should buy?
I can't really speak to any other model than the Silohuette but its a fantastic guitar for the money. Versatile, great workmanship, top of the line hardware and pick-ups.
If I was to get another guitar - for the lower end, those new Subs are looking interesting.
On the high end - a Steve Morse model - but that is more because I am a big Steve Morse fan than anything else.
Music Man has several different models. It depends on what you're looking for to determine what is best for you.
For me, the Axis SS is best. I'm 5' 7" and have rather small hands. The guitar and neck are sized perfect for me. I wanted a rock and roll guitar which sounds great over driven. The Axis SS fits the bill to a "T". I love the maple fretboard on mine (although you can also get rosewood). The piezo option is great for me, so that I can blend acoustic and electric tones, particularly when I don't have another guitarist playing with me.
To be fair I haven't played all the EBMM models but the Axis Super Sport is hard to beat. It'll do pretty much anything and sound great doing it. Feels pretty good too.
I personally own Petrucci's. However, I have tried just about all the models and to be honest, they all rock. I just had that "religious" moment when I picked up the Petrucci. But, I was gonna walk out the store with a EBMM, just so many to chose from. I say if you can, play the different models and when one hits you like a ton, buy it and get hooked like all of us!
