Ted,
I don't know what $450 Canadian translates to in American dollars, but the new MIM standard strats are selling for $369 to $404 on Musicians Friend.

For $499 US you can get the 60th anniversary MIM standard strat. Here are the features:

Fender® 60th Anniversary Commemorative Standard Stratocaster© Electric Guitar Features:

* Standard Series
* Alder body
* Maple neck with modern C shape
* Maple fretboard
* Chrome hardware
* Cast/sealed tuning machines
* Vintage-style synchronized tremolo
* 3 Tex Mex single-coil Strat pickups
* 5-way pickup switching
* 3-ply parchment pickguard
* Master volume
* Tone 1 (neck pickup)
* Tone 2 (middle pickup)
* Blizzard pearl finish
* Engraved 60th Anniversary neck plate
* Satin tinted neck
* 60th Anniversary gig bag

Again, if that was $450 American, I wouldn't go for it, but that's just me. The 60th anniversary comes with a gig bag and Tex-Mex pups. The pups alone sell for about $120 new.
