If you want horsepower, go with this:
Gretsch Honeydipper for $399. I owned one of these and just found it too loud and too heavy to be comfortable (I played without a strap back then). It was so loud it drowned out my wife's banjo.
I use the
Gretsch Boxcar - although it's a spider reso I find it to be the best sounding, best built reso in the sub $500 category. I've had mine for 3+ years and it has been very reliable. Pretty loud too.
I have no experience with the Fender in question, so can't say if it's good or bad.
