I think the conversation gets a lot more interesting around the £800 -£1000 mark, especially if you include the second hand market.
You get so much more options for your money.
I own sire v7, fender jazz V elite & a mayones jabba 5 custom and have use all 3. Can the Sire sound as good as the others? Absolutely!
Is it as nice to play & as well built as the other 2? No. Not for me & it would be unfair to expect it to.
I think it’s more about is the difference in playability & your sound worth it to you.
