The strat is cool too, but they go $200 cheaper on adorama all the time.
Don't forget to sign up musician's Friend rewards program. You'll get 8% back. Maybe don't give them your phone number so they won't call you, just email.
Shorter scale like Mustang/Jaguar/LP/SG/PRS or longer scale like Strat/Tele/Jazzmaster?
Sitting down with the exact specimen and feeling it in hand will always be better to judge an emotional connection between player and instrument than an online sale.
Some beginner guitar recommendations I made in the past: https://slickdeals.net/e/13940228-monoprice-indio-helix-flamed-maple-electric-guitar-w-gig-bag-blue-burst-129-99-free-shipping-via-monoprice?p=135
Those are way too many factors for a beginner to understand right away lol. Gotta know how to play to truly get a feel of the different necks.
Really just comes down to budget and with the deal examples listed, they'd be overkill but all pretty much great guitars.

Guitar body shape, neck profile, weight/balance, and looks are all important to a beginner's comfort and motivation and I believe they can make decisions on those -- as well as budget -- without knowing how to play.

Interesting; I know with myself when I was choosing my first electric guitar way back between an LP with a chunky rounded D neck, or an LTD EC-1000 with a super slim neck, I felt the bigger neck was much more comfortable so I got the LP and learned on that for a couple years.
Couple years later when I wanted another guitar I tried ones with the slim necks again and holy moly, I could play so much faster and it just felt more right lol, so I got a Tele. Complete 180 of how I felt before, and I've stuck to thinner necks ever since.
Other players I know told me they went through the same thing but I guess everyone's different, how one feels with a guitar initially won't always be how they feel later, and sometimes it will lol. Def agree with you on the body shape, looks and weight though.
If you're a beginner and want a fender without the price tag I'd recommend the higher end Squier models (classic vibe) or a G&L tribute. Definitely play before you buy and look for sharp fret ends and buzzing on the neck.

Assuming you actually play it, you likely won't ever sell it since it is good enough to perform or record with and not so crappy that you would be compelled to upgrade it.
