Speaking from experience the fretwork on post-2008, MIC Epiphones is notoriously inconsistent - the typical cover-up for which is ultra-light strings and higher-than-necessary action ("Don't worry, you can always lower the bridge and adjust the truss rod when you get home - now, will that be cash or credit?"); if you're looking to keep the guitar over the long haul, I'd go for the fret job/setup...
