I think the materials and build quality are of importance.
Greco and Ibanez guitars were made at the same factory (Fujigen) while Tokai is a factory by itself.
Every manufacturer has better speced models and lesser speced ones.
I trust the build quality of 70's and 80's japanese guitars. I think you won't go wrong with any of them.
Just remember that everything you buy you can also sell, so try and you'll eventually get lucky.

Grecos, Edwards, Burnys all come to mind - best you ask over at the Tokai Registry, those guys are fanatics... An old Burny or Greco might sell a little cheaper because a lot of people don't know them as well as the Tokai brand... Yet conversely the Greco or Edwards or Burnys might be a little harder to move if you tire of it and sell. Many guitars were made of sandwich construction (like the Custom Agents) so try to locate a single piece body, long neck tendon model with solid top (whether it has flame or not).

Get an "Orville by Gibson" (not an "Orville")or better: a IBANEZ 2650!!!!!!!

Mind you I am slightly biased......
