If you already have srat and like it, you could upgrade to a Fender mexican strat.
The Epi G400 is a really good guitar for the price, well finished, stays in tune, comfortable, nice action... plus it sounds quite good. That guitar is hard to beat given its cheap price. One step above would be a Gibson SG faded/special. -------------------- Guitars:

Strat guitars and Gibson guitars are very different guitars because the way they are built and type of pickups they're using. Strat has that single could sound, and Gibson has humbucking sound in general. When you go to the store, try the guitars on the amp that you like the most, and try a lot of them. When you fin some guitar that you like how it sounds, then narrow your comparations to similar type of guitars with similar pickups. Check how they feel when you play, how thick is the neck, the small details, quality of built. Pick every note and hear how it sounds, and play a bit on clean and distortion. Spend some time in the store, and even go to different stores for some time, even 2-3 times per store just to be sure. After you try some 10-15 guitars, you will have a much more clearer picture about their sound and what you like and don't like mate.

I suggest you go for a good mid range guitar. Don't buy another beginner model. You will get bored with it very soon.
Follow Ivan's advices and try several models. Two cost-effective models at that mid-range price are mexican fender stratocaster and epiphone les paul custom.  -------------------- my "Thank you GMC!" video

The best way to find out what kind of guitar you should buy next, is to go into a guitar shop and go feeling up some guitars... =)
I started out with a Squier Strat as well. And after a trip into my local guitar shop, I ended up with a Schecter Omen 6
