Guitar Choice Dilemma

I find myself in an exciting, but equally puzzling dilemma because I have the means to buy a new guitar and I have two options, but for the life of me I'm not sure which one to go with.

I really want to get myself the Ibanez JS1000 (Joe Satriani signature series) guitar which will set me back 3000 dollars.
OR, I can buy myself an American Series Fender Stratocaster which would set me back only $1800.

Now the thing is I have 3000 dollars total spending for the guitar, but that would restrict me to just getting the JS1000 and nothing else.
But, if I get the Fender Strat, I'll have 1200 dollars spare to buy either some pedals or maybe even another amp.

In my estimation, the JS1000 would be the better all round quality guitar. Of course, I'm not knocking the American Series Strat since that is quite a good guitar too.
I just don't know what to do!

So does anyone have any ideas as to which option I should go for?
