as somone who has just picked up a SR705, 1 year old for 300quid I would say go for it,
Restrung with a set of DR Black Beauty's (6 string set for 27quid off american ebay) and it looks the awsome (and then some) and well within your budget! you could even upgrade the preamp / pickups and still come in under!
