I'd agree with keeping it. I owned an '86 MIJ Strat and it was very nicely built. However, the electronics were a little cheaper than the US. My 5 way switch went bad about 5 months into owning it and was replaced with a proper US one under the warranty.
Have the take another look under the hood for any loose solder joints, bad/scratchy pots etc... Also, they can relook at the setup. The nut needs some graphite (I use a pencil!) and that could quickly solve your low E tuning problem. Also put some on the bridge saddles and bridge area where the strings contact the bridge.
These are easy fixes and the overall guitar is a great one!
