Hi Rob

Here is a place that specialises in Japanese Fenders, but they are not the best prices

Here is a 65 re-issue Japanese Strat in action

Here is a comparison I found too of a Fender Japanese Strat vs a Fender USA.

Yes MIJ and CIJ Strats are a little harder to find in the UK; the Jaguars and Jazzmasters are the most common.

It is all down to personal preference; however, three times I went out to buy Fender USA guitars; a Tele, a Jag and a std Strat; and three times (after trying scores of guitars) I returned with Fender Japan!
