under £500 Jazzmaster - what would you go for?

Not a ‘true’ Jazzmaster but I recently picked up a Harley Benton JA60 with Goldo Les Trem to try out and it is absolutely fantastic - great fretwork, 13.5” radius, comfortable neck, lovely sounding pickups (may change the 250k pots to 500k though!) and just a joy to play and hear. The Les Trem is very cool as well!

I would save up a bit more money and buy a Vintera II because if you feel the pickups need to be changed the it's worth 
  upgrading the electrics then you may have tuning issues due to the lower cost parts used like trem/bridge/tuners.
  If you don't use the trem then maybe you won't have problems. Good luck.
