In the past, Mitchell, Rogue, Musicians' Gear, etc. have occasionally produced inferior stuff at cheaper prices.
However, especially recently, with a slight rise in price has come a great rise in quality, especially, in my opinion, where Mitchell is concerned.
I have a couple of their guitars, and I really appreciate the construction and playability.
In particular, I own this MD200; I wanted an inexpensive electric, because I had a desire to enter the world of amps and effects and rocking out after playing acoustic for nearly two decades.
The Mitchell was my third electric, and it handily replaced an Ibanez in my Preferred Gear list; I eventually sold the Ibanez altogether.
The pickups used here aren't exactly anything special. To be honest, they're sort of middle of the road, sound-wise. I know, with an electric guitar, this is modifiable, but the mini rail at the neck may be harder to replace with something in a different form factor.
The switches, pots, and jack are reasonably solid, although the jack placement is a little odd. It is in a pretty standard spot for electric guitars, mounted along the edge of the body a little below the strap button. But the angle of the jack is offset from the body. Some people will care and some won't
The neck is thin yet comfortable, and the frets, at least on mine, are nice and smooth. It sounds and plays well all over the neck, though I'm hardly a shredder and can't, therefore, comment on quite how that would feel.
One bonus this guitar offers is individual volume knobs for the two pickups, meaning you can sort of dial in a particular flavor with the switch in the middle position. And though the guitar only has one tone knob, it is a pretty decent frequency roll-off and allows for good tone color. As an added advantage, rare enough at double the asking price, this guitar features a coil split function when you pull on the tone pot.
This gives the humbuckers a relatively single-coil sound, although there's debate as to the authenticity of such a sound.
In general, this guitar is not the greatest I ever played. It's not going to stand up against something many times the price. I would be lying if I compared it in those terms, as so many musicians who find something they like are wont to do. But what it is, it is. It's a fine guitar, in my opinion, for an advanced beginner to a budget-conscious intermediate electric guitarist. It's unforgivingly modern, meaning it has to be played like a sensitive electric guitar, which is what I wanted, coming from the background of an acoustic guitarist where the necks are thick and we do less bending.
It has decent, if not particularly inspired sound via the pickups, good tone control, and that coil split for when you want a little more spank and a little less drive.
And as one last thought, the looks of the guitar are distinctive and have brought me some surprised but genuine admiration when I tell folks where it came from and how much it cost.
It's a guitar I'm proud to own, and I don't see myself getting rid of it.

Both can play anything though. I personally have that red sparkle Tele, and it is pretty good for the price. I don't have this Mitchell but I just picked up a MItchell acoustic guitar and that good for the price, reviews seem pretty good. So, as long as you don't get a lemon (which t even happens sometimes on expensive USA made guitars) I think you'd be happy with either guitar. Get whichever you think looks better, or whatever you feel fits the music you want to play better.
The main thing with inexpensive (really all guitars) is to check them over very good when you get it. Return it if it is bad. Check the neck and make sure it is straight, check that there are no dead frets on any of the strings. Check that the volumes and tone controls all work etc. It is always good to check and set the intonation ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GG9UKBf
Here is a video (comments are pretty good too) on some things to check on new guitars.

For inexpensive instruments, I think this type of guitar is far better.
