Can’t really help you with the location as I’m not from your area
I would suggest doing as much testing as you can to find your perfect match. Fender produces six popular neck shapes and I would suggest to really find the one that contours to your playing and go with that. Oh and don't worry about pickups as those can easily be changed.
If you can go with the American, you won’t look back. Sorry but I have yet to play a Japanese guitar built with the same quality of the one I eventfully went with. There’s a big difference and you get what you pay for.
