Jack while the Romeo is different it might be worth a try. They have different pickup configurations along with different finishes,etc. The guitar design is more akin to say the PRS Hollow or Hamer Newport in construction. But it seems different as well.
I don’t think it has any neck dive issues, and they are priced really fairly,especially in the used market.

What about an ES-275?

How do you feel about P90s? If you'd consider an ES-125 TCD that would expand your options considerably. Lots more of those around than ES-175T's. I'd also suggest a Seventy Seven Hawk (the thin MIJ version), but those are a lot rarer than 175T's.

Very different sound, but all the Benedetto models I have played (Bravo, Bambino, 335 copy) have been incredibly built and very, very comfortable. They have a VERY different tone than a 175 though. I have shoulder issues and cannot play larger bodied guitars for a long time, and the Bravo I owned never gave me any troubles on three hour gigs. I ended up selling it, but I now exclusively gig and practice with 16" width or less, and 3" or less in depth
I have never played one, but also maybe check out the Sadowsky Jim Hall? Ply top, 24.75" scale, and smaller size

The alternative is the ES-195. You may have to swap out the P100s for a set of humbuckers, and the Bigsby tailpiece for the ES-175 trapeze.

Elderly has a 175T. I used to drive there and back from Akron to try guitars. All day adventure though.

If this Epiphone did not have the 1 9/16” nut width, it would be a fine choice for me. May not work for you either, but a worthy consideration.
