I'm pretty enamored with the Eastman 386 semi-hollow. That's my favorite so far. And I was able to try the Gretsch Electromatic. I'm not sure about the Gretsch, but it might be because I was playing through one of the Orange Amps. I didn't really care for the Orange. Still leaning towards a Princeton Reverb or even a Super Champ, perhaps. I do like that the Music Man has bass, MID and treble controls. The Princeton/Champ amps have only bass/treble. As for the guitars, the Gretsch sounds really good for a couple of tunes, but then I want something a little more diverse. So right now it's Fender Tele vs. Eastman Semi-Hollow.
Still looking, still playing. And still listening.

If you're liking the Tele, and maybe still wanting a little less weight, and would prefer not to exceed your original budget, you might like to check out this G&L -
