Some people might say you are wrong to buy that, but personally last time i tried an AVT i really liked the sound that i got from it.
I say that is a good buy (depending on the price!)

Well I'm sure I'll get cursed for saying this cause its Marshall, and I know there's a lot of LANEY fans here (I got a LANEY too, only a TF300 mind) but I just bought this in a sale: Marshall AVT150HX Sound nice, much better than my current amp and I can't afford a full Valve amp right now anyway.

assuming you have bareknuckles you'll get the best possible tone from that amp, so it should be alright.

Hmm considering your budget for the guitar, I'd really halve it and buy a decent amp, you won't get the best of the guitar (nowhere near it) through the AVT. I've just sold my AVT100 because I couldn't get a sound I was happy with even with a new speaker and various pedals. Admittedly I'm using a £600 guitar not £1000+ but still, the problem was the amp not guitar. My JCM900 just cost me £250, which should be a nice step up from the AVT.

I have two that would suit your needs.... well technically only one, but the one that technically does not suit your needs can be ordered with a Floyd Rose (mine has a fixed bridge). And you sure cannot ocmplain about the prices I paid...

ESP Mirage Custom ($400 used and beat up but in perfect playing condition)
Carvin DC127 ($400 used and less beat up but still in perfect playing condition)

Then throw some Nailbombs in and you're all set - it sure rocks in the ESP!
