I've got to second Lao_Tzu..get 'em both, that's what you'll end up doing in the end :)

Really though, I've got a Fender Tele MIM 1969 Thinline re-issue and I love it. It feels, plays and looks great. I did put in a pair of Samarium Cobalt pups since that is what is in the Fender Custom Shop Tele.

The Strat will be the more versatile of the two though I think...
