i've got a bb 1 on my short list for the neck pickup on my es-300 project, but even used they are more expensive than their symour duncan counterpart so i'm prooly going that route, i like the sound clips i've heard of both.
i was reading up on some les paul's a while back, if i recall, the mik les pauls from the late 90s early 00s weighed-in at over 10 lbs!
so would an american-made les paul be the gibson guitar to start with for someone who has never owned a gibson or a les paul?

I really don't understand why a few ounces makes so much difference hanging over a persons shoulder.... but I know from experience that it does. Most of the LP's made in the last 20 years come in around 9 lbs.
The white LP in my collection is a studio model. the biggest difference is there is no binding on the body. PUPS & the rest of the hardware is pretty much standard Gibson stuff.
You can snag a real nice studio for around $1,000 anywhere. Until you know if you like them, it's a great place to start.
My guess is you can beat them down a bit more..
