oh dang, i totally missed the only part.. but if that's the budget, i'd still recommend the craftsman. no kidding!
i'm guessing (without exaggeration) if they were branded, they would cost about twice their current price or slightly less. That $280 ST130 feels like my yamaha pacifica 410mkII which cost about $600 when i got it at music plaza. you guys should try them out when you pass by city music next time. i couldn't believe it myself so i went down with my friend to test it out.
as of last week, i think they offer free setup and string changing service for one year after purchase. great service for beginners me thinks.

dont the some units of the fender strats have a trem system/buckles?honestly isnt the appearance the only diff? headstock/sharpen horns? and preference too of course
basically the term superstrat was coined to describe a souped up version of the strat .... though these days we dont really hear ppl use the term much ...

+1 to madwerewolfboy's recommendation to craftsman strats.
i actually wished the strat was my first guitar. compared to the epiphone les paul 100 i bought as a first guitar 5 years ago, this strat totally killed it in terms of sound, feel and the price. no kidding
i had a go at it during a jam at AMG studios. they have craftsman strats and les pauls. felt like the guitar was made for me. loved the humbucker and single coils, pretty much what i wanted it to sound.
didnt have a go at the trem arm but the guitar pretty much stayed in tune after 1 hr of crazy palm muting, bending and vibrato. pretty much whoaaah.
i too am considering if i could buy one. hahaha

dont mind me asking this but other than that extra 2 notes is there any diff between a 22/24?

from a guitar geek's point of view, i think neck pickup of the a 24-fret guitar is very slightly closer to the bridge, it's no longer below the 24th fret which makes it pick up a different set of harmonics! lol
