Guitar Center is ALWAYS having some sort of sale. You can find a Strat there for around $500-$600 during some of their big sales. Thats what I paid for mine.

As far as model goes, I've never heard of a Deluxe MiM, but thats probably just because I don't read up on stuff like that. All you need is a Standard American Strat.
