If them not being cheap is a concern, may I recommend you audition a Squier Classic Vibe as well? I actually chose my Squier CV Tele over the MIM one as I preferred the neck, though I thought the bridge pickup on the MIM was a bit better.
Usually one will will just speak to you more than the rest and it’s often not the one you’d expect.
There are certainly lots of very fine guitars that come out of the Fender plant in Mexico.
Oly White.
If I was looking at a new electric now I would definitely see what else was on offer around £500 - £600 - the new Shergolds look good and like the Yamaha Revstar range would be hard to overlook.
I know a handful of people that regularly gig MIM Stds and they are certainly up to the job.
It'll be up in the classifieds once the weather/light gives me the opportunity to get some photos.
Another option is to buy a second hand American Standard, they retail about the same as a new MIM.

My trading feedback thread
I think the 7.25 radius and vintage frets suit a tele really well.
Its a great guitar - toyed with the idea of swapping the neck pickup out but havent yet.
plays really good.
Pre-owned examples of the Classic Player Fifties Stratocaster and Baja Telecaster should be within budget. If you are lucky, the pickups may have already been upgraded.
