Just wondering what people think of the new strat with plug in cards.
I cannot see me buying one but hopefully a poll will reflect some of your feelings towards it :D

I think my Strat Plus is a '92

I'll stick with that.

The new Pluses are completely different beasts compared to the late 1980s originals.

If there are only going to be 3-4 different cards, which it looks like, wouldn't it be better to have them built-in and choosable with a single selector switch?

I think that modular is much more versatile. You can trade cards, easier for repair, smaller footprint in the guitar, maybe aftermarket options from other manufacturers, and there will possibly be more options from Fender in the future.

These guitars are essentially American Standards loaded with some key features from the American Deluxe Series, meaning no deluxe pop-in bridges, S1 switching, beveled neck heels and LSR nuts.

There are no real American Deluxes, IMO.

The only notable change is the solderless wiring interface, otherwise it's a nonsense American Standard with few Deluxe touches.
