@ElCrema: Weird thinking there. Being skilled or not should not decide how expensive or cheap your instrument is. If you're good, you'll own on any guitar, if you suck you will suck on any. (though an expensive instrument can sometimes just be more comfortable)
Nothing wrong with buying an expensive instrument if you can afford it imho. Shouldn't have to do with your skill level.
Also, some 100$ instruments can be awesome, some 2000$ guitars can suck ass. It's not the price really. And in the end, the most important thing is how it feels to play, and how it suits you, not the price.
Fell free to introduce the "2000$ guitar for me to joke around with my mates" topic to my wife :P
But yeah, you right, I would probably not trade my mexican frankeincaster for any American Strat I ever played with. But as a rule of thumb, I never buy expensive instruments caus I can't help myself to not mess around with them too much and I'm all for cheap hobbies!
