The reason I don't like them is because they don't sound very different from a Strat to my ear. The bridge plate is too thick and for a long time the bridge pickup didn't have a plate underneath. Everything that set it apart tonally was taken away. I think they play great and they look great, but they don't sound like Teles. Unlike Fuzzy, I don't mind the modern innovations like hte headstock end trussrod adjustment or the different string trees. I like to take MIM Standard Teles and modify them with ashtray bridges and different pickups to get that classic sound with the modern innovations.
