HB allows playing heavier things. It can also be split in some configs, so you would have more versatility. Purists don't like it, however, because they claim it's not a real strat's sound.

Don't know what the lowest was but this is a third off and no tax for most. A closeout.

Waiting on a Tele deal.

What advantage does the HSS have over the standard pickup arrangement?

Humbucker on the bridge pickup instead of a single coil on standard Strats. This is HSS vs SSS as the more common configuration.

Good review at Guitar World and Adorama's closeout prices on discontinued models seem to be the best for something new.

That's a good price with no tax and free shipping. I like that sunburst with the maple fretboard. I own an American Deluxe and a Mexican standard. They sound EXTREMELY similar. For the price, I'd say go for this one if you're looking for a guitar. 400 is about what they go for used on craigslist.

I think as recently as 2010-2012 the typical MIM Standard Strats MAP price was $349.
