Struggling to find a fender for me

Hi everyone, I hope you're all well.

I am looking to buy a strat and need some suggestions. I want something that can handle versatility, but will probably play more rock. I would classify my skills around beginner-intermediate. Used to have a lot more skill but it's been a while lol :(. I like playing both rhythm and lead, honestly just want something I can jam out on. Fav bands to give you a taste of my taste: Pink Floyd, Radiohead, Smashing Pumpkins, The Cure, Beatles. Really wanna buy new. Budget is $1500 USD. Thanks!
