[The Milk Man 09]

I actually like the buttons on the explorer controller better. They have a little bit more resistance and for some reason I play better with it. The les paul is nice but the explorer works just fine as long as you don't sit 20 feet away from your tv. I would say that distance away from tv should be the biggest factor from the controller standpoint, but you can play live on 360 so if I were you I would take that route.
