Guitar comparisons typically aren't a thing. The thing with guitars is, it's going to come down to your personal preferences. Sure, some of them have more expensive pickups or a higher quality wood, etc… but it's the player who makes it sound good, and each person's preference. Your Strat and this guitar are two completely different types of guitar, and are going to sound and feel different. Neither is better or worse than the other.
I'm assuming yours has 3 single coil pickups, right? The small pickups, rather than these brick-like ones. This guitar has humbucker pickups, which give a more beefy/deep sound. I swear by humbuckers. I won't touch single coil. However, this is where the preference thing comes into play. SO MANY GUITARISTS play single coil. Neither one is better than the other. It's all about what sound you like. Each style pickup is better for certain sounds. So, it's all about what sound you're trying to achieve.
If you have the money, I'd say get it. Every guitarist should try as many different types of guitars as they can to really see what they like. I have a several guitars ranging between $200 and $1,000, that have much different sounds and feels, and my $400 Tom DeLonge Fender Squire Strat is still my favorite. I just love the tone and feel.
Gretsch makes fantastic guitars, so even though I can't tell you if you'll like it more, you'll at least get a quality product.

BTW, a good tip for first time Bigsby users: add some oil to the nut on your guitar so the strings don't get stuck. This is the main caused of the famous "they cause your guitar to go out of tune!" complaint. Also lift the lever up and take out the new spring, then step on it 50 times (don't do this barefoot...don't ask
This just seems like a really great price and it looks amazing!

Not sure how they are now that they make them to sell a little more affordably but they seem really nice.
