Help with my strat project.

I have a 1990 MIM stratocaster body with a warmoth neck. All my hardware is black except the stock bridge. So I bought a Warmoth Gotoh bridge and come to find out it isn't the same size.
My Strat appears to have a Vintage style 6 screw bridge. But my stock bridge is just a hair smaller. Has anyone dealt with this before? Does anyone know where I can get a good replacement bridge at a decent price?
 
I'm assuming you bought this: http://www.warmoth.com/Vintage-6-Hole-Tremolo-Black-P588C696.aspx

Below the pictures is this little line:
NOTE: Some Mexican-Fender® and Squire® instruments have a narrower 2 1/16" (52.4 mm) mounting screw spread. You will have to plug those holes and redrill new mounting holes for these bodies to use this standard vintage sized bridge.

I know Callaham makes a MIM spaced bridge, but I'm not sure if they offer a black version

As a fellow MIM strat (1994) with a Warmoth neck, I feel your pain. I too would like to upgrade the bridge, as it's about the last OEM part that is original besides paint & wood.
