thanks to all!

I have an Epiphone lp standard four months ago and Im really happy with it sound. Its beatifull too.
But i think its better go to a shop and play both. Its the best way to make the right decision.

I have a LTD EC-256 and I'm really happy with it, even if its not perfect. You can read the review I wrote here: [Review] LTD EC-256 vbk - Guitarristas.Info (you can use online translation like babelfish if you do not understand spanish well XP).
I played an Epiphone Les Paul Standard and I liked the 256 better, the body is thinner, the guitar is lighter but still has great resonance, and I like the Eclipse shape more than the normal Les Paul one. In the end its just a matter of what do you like more, so what nondedeu said is a great idea: Go to a guitar shop and play them both. Then decide =).
