My Variax is the Strat version, and it is scaled like my actual strat (not exactly, but close)
I haven't tried the Shuriken model (the one used in the Video supplied by Simon) because I bought from Sweetwater, which didn't give me a chance to actually sample anything.)

The Shuriken is modeled after the guitars used in metal bands, which frequently rely on baritone tuning, which I believe is why the neck scale is longer on that model. In retrospect, since I already have a strat, I probably should have bought the Shuriken, since it would have given me some variation on what I already have. But frankly, I am already experiencing "possibility overload".
