I want to get a third Guitar I already have a Fender Ultra Telecaster and a Fender Eric Clapton Signature Stratocaster. My two choices are a Fender Ultra Jazzmaster or a Hallmark Custom 60. Here is a picture of both playing thru a Louis Electric Gattone.

I love JMs but there's things about that one that i don't love.

So between those models, I'd say go for the Hallmark.

Hallmark all the way. A $2500-3000 guitar for $1050, including a plush case. The latest run have slightly wider necks, so easier to play chords. But they are heavy.

I have a Hallmark Custom 60. It is very high quality. But for me, the big advantage is the 24.75" scale length. I also have a Jaguar, which is similar to the Jazzmaster in build quality. I'd take the Hallmark every time.
