I'm with him...
Sell that and get the Strat.

I've sort of done the same -
years of having a few prs around, I'm now down to one and all Fender.
The new custom shop relics are just amazing to play... 
Go for it...

I'm the opposite, I currently have an itch for a PRS CU24 and it's my Custom Shop Strat that may take the fall...still wrestling with the itch and not fully sure...

The El Diablo Relic Strat is a great spec: jumbo frets, hand wound Josefina pickups, treble bleed on volume, tone on neck/middle and separate tone with greasebucket circuit on bridge

Ohhh that looks sweet

Bridgehouse

Get rid and buy my CS Strat

sweepy

I shall take more pics and put the PRS up for sale

rico

Yeah buy @Bridgehouse 's strat before I start selling all the things...

Also worth a look at if you like strats are the Xotic range at Peach. I have a ‘63 Custom Relic and the Xotics compare favourably to Fender’s Custom Shop. Plus the baked maple necks are incredible!

I'l s the Xotic guitars.
Only spotted them recently - they look just like strats but the necks are some of the best looking I've seen
