I was actually shopping for one when I came across a better deal on a Standard. I know if you upgrade the pick-ups, you'll have a nice guitar. You might want to read about different types. The Vintage series aren't really "hot" sounding like you might be wanting.
My strat has a "Seymor Duncan Pearly Gates" in the Bridge. This is the best sounding p/u I've ever heard and bar far my favorite p/u of all, on all my guitars. It's so versatile and so musical sounding. So, saying that, I'd REALLY recommend you checking them out.
.... like I said though, I personally prefer Fenders hands down. It'd just be a shame to see you loose a guitar with a lot of potential. Throw a set of Texas Specials in your strat and watch it come to life too.

I could yeah, but I dunno, I just liked how the jazzmaster sounds. I know, techincally it's a cheaper guitar, im trading down...but I just dug it...
plus Im tired of all black and love the look of the jazzmaster better, and sunburst is great. It's a lighter guitar too which is nice.
EDIT: as far as the strat, I'd never sell it. But I may consider putting some new pickups in it eventually....not a bad idea...
