What can be said for American Deluxe Telecasters?

I saw one in the window when I went window shopping (on a Sunday, so it was definitly closed) in my hometown's guitar shop Bruno. He had this amazing Tele: sunburst, maple neck and the white line edge around the body, which makes me asume it's an American deluxe. Damn' that guitar was so sweet, it's been haunting me ever since. I didn't get to play it yet though.
I like my standard tele, but it's a rosewood neck and pretty thin. I used to have a mexican tele with a big maple neck which I loved... and then it got stolen. A while back I played some guys tele with big maple neck and felt really good.
Anyway, went to a show last Thursday and Thomas Dybdahl (check this Norwegian guy out, seriously!) had this amazing vintage white tele with maple neck going through a Vox AC-30. At one point, when he broke a string, he switched to the type I described above, only with a black pickguard. It was sweet...
So anyway, I'm considering selling my standard tele and my epi LP with Gibson pups and try and buy this beauty. Not that I could afford a new one even with the sale and this is probably just a little fling thing, but what can be said for those guitars?

in the late 90s there were beautiful 3 pickup telecaster pluses with lace sensors. had the body binding and a tummy cut. 95-98 i think.

in the early nineties, the telecaster plus had 2 pickups but the bridge was a dually lace sensor. jonny greenwood's guitar.

not sure what the neck profiles were. probably standard C.
the new tele deluxes have SCN pickups which are beautiful and S1 switching so they've got 6 sounds.
the ash bodied one has the big 52 U neck. but it doesn't have body binding it appears.

the alder bodied one has the regular c neck.

Two pups, and not the Greenwood Tele.
I highly doubt I can afford me a new one...
but the detail and pickup system is a big step and are pretty damn nice.
sorry about that.
