When I actually bought one in the 70's (even though it was a dog) I couldn't put it down. Or to be more accurate, it was so heavy I couldn't pick it up! No seriously, it was the same guitar as many of my influences played, and meant I could now be as good as they were. (Or try to be!). However successful that ambition was, playing a 'professional' instrument was inspirational.
Exactly. My 2014 MIA Strat is not a dog. I have no excuse and have the necessary gear to be as good as anyone, but I'm not very good at all. Yet, no regrets. I can't blame my mediocrity on an MIM Strat or anything else. Go for the MIA Strat (and a great amp).

Well I have a modded MIM Strat at home, much like your's. locking tuners, different pickups/pick guard etc. I love it and I love the fact I did the work to it.

this year I bought a MIA Strat. I love it a lot. when it comes to playing they play very similarly. I can take one or the other on any given day and enjoy playing them.

I did not sell the MIM for two reasons. no way to get your mopney back out of it and the fact I made it the way I wanted.
In my mind I keep that one because if I want to tinker it will be with that one. IMO an American version should be left stock. it is ok to repair it but not change it.
