I think you made a wise choice. The most important factor about the guitar you use is how it suits you as a player. Matching the guitar to the style of music is a guideline, but certainly not an absolute. Iron Maiden use strats. Joe Bonamassa (blues guy) uses Les Pauls. The lead guitarist in a friend's band used a telecaster exclusively. He played Pink Floyd, Rush, and Van Halen songs with it.

So you can make the guitar sound as you want.

I reinforced this with myself the other day. I'm working on Life in the Fast Lane, which was played on a Strat. I happened to be using my Les Paul working on the rythm part and thought "yeah, this needs a little more twang...my strat would be better for this". Without thinking about it, I knocked the mid control on my amp up and voila, I had the harsher twang I needed. I was very surprised at how easily I could match the tone using my les paul, which has humbuckers.
