+1 on the pacifica 112v. those classic vibes are meant to be nice too, but i haven't tried them yet.
you can block those strat-style trems pretty easily, so they shouldn't really be a problem.
though if you're willing to go up to £400, you could possibly do better than either of those... if you're willing to pay the extra (and considering you already play an instrument, there's a good chance you'll stick with it)... you could get a higher-end pacifica, and tokai are starting to re-release Japanese-made versions of the strat (and maybe even tele) for around the £400 mark, which are bound to be worth considering if you're after that style of guitar...
btw, i think this is a record- the forum inducing GAS in a non-player... :lol: we must be doing something right...
