Gretsch, Strat or Chinese?

I also have a strat clone which I have modified and adapted with better tuners, bridge, roller trees, trem etc. and that is fine for practise. I've been guided towards the Harley Benton BigTone, something that I wouldn't have entertained at all at one time but the reports of that particular model is that it is as good as a Chinese Gretsch anyway, so why pay treble the price for the name!

I’ve been having a look at some Yamaha Revstars of late… not sure yet (mainly because I definitely don’t NEED another guitar!)
