Kelly or Explorer?

I will, when I get enough money (hehe....), build another guitar for myself. The one I'm doing now is a custom design (not finnished, will probably brag about it when it is, so you won't miss it), but the next one I don't know really what to do. I recently saw a Kelly with a midnight blue finnish (actually, that's Larry Tarnowski's KE2 I'm talking about), and it looks so much sleeker than my black KE3. I've also been thinking about an Explorer.

So, what I'm asking is what you would recommend of the following:
A neck through Kelly with a dark blue finnish, sharkfin inlays, Floyd
A neck through Kelly with flame maple top and a bright green stain, sharkfin inlays, Floyd
A set neck (or neck through) Explorer with a satin black finnish, cross inlays, and tunomatic

Money will not be an issue, as this is not anything that I will start doing until I have the money needed.

What do you think?

Make the kelly, i mean sharkfin inlays, floys rose, neck thru..... as for the colors... the light green might be cool but it might not test out on sum scrap wood first

I just thought a bit more about it, and I figured I could strip and refinnish the KE3 I have with a midnight blue color (and maybe add a tone knob while I'm at it), re-fret it (the frets are pretty worn down (it's been played intensely for 8yrs now)), and do sharkfin inlays on it. And I could build a complete Explorer. Which might end up having a floyd and some cool inlays instead.

Really, any suggestions as to what to do are welcome.
