The tale of two MIJs:

So, I've traditionally been a Gibson copy player because I could never afford a real one. I used to gig all the time, and so have some really banged up old (cheaper) guitars. These days, I have a 'real' (or more real) job based in the studio, so I don't play anywhere near as much, though I do still lay down the occasional guitar track, play for fun, and gig every now and then.

So now I have a real job, I have some more money for nicer guitars (woo hoo!)

I bought a cheap Gibson LP and didn't love it, and discovered I'm a Tele man and so bought an Aerodyne Tele on a great deal that I fell in love with and play all the time.

Now I'm looking to round out my Fender arsenal with a Strat. I'm currently tossing up between a 1993 '54 re-issue ST54 MIJ and a (standard? I guess?) 1987 MIJ strat which is obviously a little cheaper. The '87 has the standard rosewood fretboard and C-neck which I like playing on my Tele, the '54 reissue has a V neck and a maple fretboard.

I guess I'm just looking for some info on either of these guitars and what I should expect out of them. I'll be playing them on the weekend so how they feel will obviously be a big deciding factor. I guess what I'm asking is how's the V-neck? Will I get used to it? What's the major difference between a '54 reissue and the standard strat?
I'm relatively new to the Fender game, so any info or help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks!
