Sorry, i might be missing something but as far as I'm concerened, playing pretty much any guitar is fun, and i personally own a les paul, which I feel is more fun to play than my friends strat (ok it is a mexican one, but I don't see what the deal is with mex-strats??) and if you own one or both, it is probably a case of which you are more used to, and what you use it for.
