I own both, for me it's the RW. For the price and the feel and tone of an old strat it's a no brainer. If you want a more modern strat with thicker finish the 62 HR is the way to go. The RW just has the tone and feel of an old friend. My .02
Hot Rod is the better value.... I have one of the limited run Thin Skin's which is pretty close - and it's a great guitar.
