All the Bullets are shaded like seafoam green. If you really want Daphne Blue, I think the most inexpensive model is the Mexican Fender Classic Series 50s Strat. But you're looking at $600 with a maple neck, 7.25" radius neck, and vintage frets. Maybe you can find a used one for $400?
One thing I like about the Made in Mexico Strats is that the poly finish is thicker and less likely to scratch or dent. The finish on the Bullets is thinner and the basswood dents way easier than alder bodies.
