When I was referring to Fender I was only referring to Custom Shop, not any of their production models

I definitely like the Fender headstock shape better. The Suhr one is kinda bland and generic.
A little update on the OP: Just played this CS strat a bit more in the shop today. I found the tuning stability s really bad. It goes out of tune very quickly. I would expect locking tuners on 2400£ guitar.. But they are not.
Try before you buy and be honest with yourself. After a thousand articles, youtube vids and forum posts I was sure I wanted a Suhr. After trying a bunch I preferred the Fender Deluxe. I did change the pickups though, the N3 noiseless pups are awful.

But, I also will say, when you get a CS strat, you u are usually getting a remake of an older famous model\year. They always had regular vintage tuners-price means nothing in this case.
A USA Deluxe strat is 1/2, or 1/3 the cost of a CS Strat and IMHO much better made. I don't want something because it looks like an old one - I want playability, stability, etc. My 06 USA Deluxe is perfect, from the nut, bridge, the wood and of course the Deluxe locking tuners. I am pretty much a blues type player, I bend strings all day, never go out of tune. My 89 either.
Like I said, good you made your choice for yourself - that's what matters.
HAte those n3's, or any of them-I cnaged my deluxe also-fralin blues specials, love em.
