If you want the cheapest thing you can find then get a pack, the Squier Affinity's aren't bad I used to have one but if you want the best within your budget go for something like I have suggested.[/quote]
The difference being a year to years, the links sent really would see you through learning, improving and playing live - hence years of service for a slightly higher price than something that would do the job but you would soon want to upgrade.
Apart from that I reckon your could get your money back on the link model in a years time too
