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.

Very difficult to tune. May be just a bigsby thing? Guitar needed to be set up quite a bit. Output was muddy. (Previous version pickups)
All in all, worth it at this price just for the looks. You will need to put in some work to make it usable though
Option 1 - for the tech savvy who care about amp sounds: use an audio interface (like the iRig HD2) with a phone or computer, and you can faithfully replicate the sound of any vintage amp, and then push that sound to pre-existing speakers, headphones, a stereo, whatever. (If you use Apple products, GarageBand can do this for free, on iphone or computer.)
Option 2: plug and play w/money: If there's one amp people like, it's the Monoprice 15-watt all-tube guitar amp. It runs about $250, but if you're patient you can find out on sale for ~$200. Yes, much cheaper amps exist, but this seems to be the Goldilocks model.
Option 2.5: plug and play w/o money - any cheap amp will do for clean sounds (Monoprice's 20w is fine for $59) - or better yet, find something cheap and more interesting on a local marketplace. And then when you want to play with more interesting sounds, go back to option 1.

The tough thing about "best" amp questions, is that once you're into effects (gain/distortion/overdrive/reverb, etc) asking which is best is a bit like asking which soda is best!
