Why not try one out if you can? Depends what kind of music you're into etc

You've not given us much to advise you with!

Rory from Midnight Noise Collective (aka Sultanofswing86 on here) has one.

They have the "noiseless" pickups, ie stacked humbuckers, so not the same as an ordinary single coil pickup, but you might prefer it if you are into high gain stuff.

If not, I'd be looking at one of the vintage reissues in order to get the nitro finish, something like this:

So you could buy a lite ash Telecaster, a set of Bill Lawrence Pickups AND a Z-Vex Fuzz Probe for less than the price of an american deluxe telecaster. This would make you the coolest guy ever.

I've got anolder one (late 90's early 00's?). I like it. The strat style shaping at the back is nice for a fat bastard like me, fits nicer.

I got it second hand though. It has Lace Sensor pick ups which are a bit of an aquired taste.

I had a look/play of one of the new ones (in Bruce Millers) a while back. I liked the sunburst and the Noiseless/S1 switching sounded great but wasn't sure about the neck, didn't 'feel' that great to me. Plus I thought the headstock looked a bit 'cheap'.

Oh and they are a bit pricey too. Don't know if they are twice as good as a US standard.

I still fancy one of those QMT twin humbucker ones though!
