Unless you're absolutely skint forget the Squiers.
I’ll look into the models you mentioned. I don’t really care about vintage specs tbh...although I want the upper switching options.
Only reason I don't have it now is cos I moved onto the short scale fender things.

Nice one!
The MIM Cassic Lacquer Jazzmaster was always listed as having the genuine 65 reissue pickups, no idea if that's true in reality. Confused yet!
Anyway I think you chose well, not much more money for the real deal in my opinion. I have the surf green American Original jag, it replaces a Johnny Marr Jag and I don't regret it.
Would love the turquoise Jazzmaster to match!
I've owned a lot of jazzmasters. Every single one has been improved with a set of mojos
Which ones out of interest?
If you want something a bit different the wide range JM style are also excellent.

Looks like a Squier Vintage Modified might be the best for me, with a possible pickup upgrade further down the line.
Although I was expecting an improvement, I wasn't prepared for just how much better they would be. Better than the pickups in the thin skin, and then some! There's more depth, clarity and a three dimensional quality to the tones available. The downside is that I really need to get some for my thin skin now, as the '86 tends to get picked up first every time!
I said maybe.....
