To me it's not an X vs Y thing but more of a question of what type of sound suits you best, we all want to be able to express what we hear inside our heads, and that may change over time or from song to song, thats why so many people own both, they both have a great sound, but each is unique and that's why we still want tele's, strats and LP's even though they are nearly senior citizens in the world of guitars................
