Is this guitar good (for me)- Epiphone Les Paul Studio Limited Edition?

want to get an Epiphone Les Paul Studio Limited Edition.
-The guitar is around $400.
-I would love to get a Gibson Les Paul Studio, or even a Gibson Melody Maker instead but I don't have the money (I've seen them go for $700-$2000.)
-I'm still a teenager, and have been playing for about a year.
-I heard while searching a website that its hard to play the Epiphone model standing up.
-I also heard that the Epiphone LP isn't a good guitar, just a cheap rip off of the Gibson LP. Is this true, or am I fine with the Epiphone LP?
-I'll mostly be playing punk, and some music from artists like Tegan and Sara.
Should I save up for a Gibson, or go for the Epiphone now?
