I have made a decision. I am ordering the all roasted maple neck. I just couldn't justify the extra $160+ to get the Indian rosewood with ebony fretboard (and that is not even a black ebony fretboard price) right now with all this chaos going on here right now. Plus, I have played the Gibson Les Paul Studio Raw Power from 2009 before and was impressed (it is a chambered maple body with an all maple neck). Having a solid swamp ash body with a roasted maple neck will be slightly more balanced in tone than the raw power but it should still be a little similar.
Most importantly, having a maple neck guitar will offer a nice and welcomed variety option to my wenge/ziricote board and all Indian rosewood necked guitars I primarily use these days.
Here is a video I found of the Gibson LP raw power. They are interesting guitars compared to the standard, warmer Les Pauls:
