These have Gibson USA pickups, upgraded wiring and a hardcase.
If you don't mind a Satin finish and epiphone on the headstock these are reportedly solid guitars.

Only negative are the tuners, which work fine, but feel cheap.

I was actually looking at this for lack of Nitro. Nitro is a pain in the ass to keep nice.
One of the primary differences is that over time and with use the nitro can show wear in ways poly won't/can't which can be a plus for players that consider that wear and tear from their own playing to be an impartation of character. Oddly enough, some people pay for that relic look on a new guitar. Go figure. However, if you want the best chance for your guitars to look perpetually like case queens, I agree that poly is the better choice.
UPDATE: I see Musician's Friend puts up photos of the specific scratch and dent instruments now. The two S&D models listed now show significant cracks or breaks at the headstock. I'm surprised they're not discounted more. Even with a good repair, the resale value of those guitars will be permanently reduced, with a more difficult sale. $639 for those is ridiculous.
I haven't had my LP long enough to compare to my Sheraton (~20yrs), but so far so good and prefer the nitro.

Would you care to elaborate? I'm kind of a hobbyist but this deal is looking great for me right now
