Id say 22 because I use the 22nd fret all the time. I think there is no upside to a 21 fret guitar.

I voted 22, but it's not really a factor for me. They're both a swine to reach. For the right Strat, 21 would not be a deal breaker

I voted 22 because it's like going to 11 twice!

and we know 11 is better than 10!

22 as it's great to get those extra high notes while playing in key of A.
