Ooh. Not sure. I wanted a HW1 when they first came out in 2002 but the first shipment was late so I got bored of waiting and bought a 2nd hand USA Tele instead.
My experience of MIMs has been minimal in recent years but I hear they are better than the early 90s ones. All the "vintage" RI stuff is MIM these days isn't it? And the player series.
I still hanker after a HW1. Have been trying to find a body to use as the basis for a partscaster but they just don't come up.

I hate to be that person but you should probably just play both? The massive bonus of the HW1 is the nitro finish but if you're not all that bothered about that I suspect it'll be down to feel.

I'm on the hunt for a Tele, either Mexican or US. There's currently a MIM (2018) and Highway One (mid-2000's) both for sale near me at similar price. Are the pickups/electrics in the mim going to be much better than the ~15yo highway one?
Were hwy1 models just assembled in Mexico and finished in US?
