40 for straplocks!?
I really like the Levy's suede straps I'm using with the Dunlop strap locks. I have a dark brown one for my C-1 classic and a black for my Frankenseven. They take a bit to break in but are really comfortable for long sessions and look great!

I have these on every guitar, which makes every strap universally interchangeable with every guitar.
I have used Dunlop StrapLoks for literally over 1,000, 4 hour gigs, with no problems ever. And I'm no shoe gazer. Lots of jumping off stages.
When I got a new custom guitar, I emailed Dunlop about getting matching locks for the guitars finish. They just mailed them to me, no charge, no questions asked.
I have a slightly newer version of that same guitar (same color and everything) that I bought brand new as my first electric almost 20 years ago. I still have it and really like it. I wouldn't be in a rush to change anything. Just set it up the way you want, play it, and then figure out what needs to be changed. MIM Strats are nice guitars just the way they came and I kind of wish I left mine mostly stock. I even wish I kept the stock pickups as I now think they sound good; I swapped them out for Lace Sensors about 15 years ago and I was never a big fan of them. I wish I kept the originals. I'll probably eventually pick up a set on ebay.
I did, however, just put Fender locking tuners on mine yesterday. I'm really glad I did it because it makes string changes so much quicker and easier. I didn't have to drill any holes and they fit just fine. However, that's not always the case with those. Take one of your tuners off and look on the back of the headstock. If you have 2 little guide holes, in addition to the hole the actual tuner goes through, you should be fine.
The other little thing I did to mine a few months ago is put on a set of Dunlop strap locks. I used the original screws instead of the ones that came with them. I really like these things and put them on my other guitars as well.
See this video regarding pole piece heights on strat pickups. Darrell Braun's channel has a lot of really good stuff on it including a lot of videos comparing pickups and busting some common myths.
I was initially looking for these. They go on your guitar strap and lock to your guitar so it can't come off.
