Jaguars can often require more work on them to get them sounding the way you want, and they are only wired for single tone pick-ups, so as mentioned they can have a wonderful clean tone but can be tricky trying to use pedals with them.
I say go for a Jazzmaster personally and get a Jaguar down the line if you can; They're both well worth it in the long run.
Take this for what you will, I think the Jazzmaster feels lighter (to me, anyway) but due to the slightly longer neck the Jaguar is more comfortable. That's probably my preference though.

Yeah, Jag's heavier no question.
I dreamed of having a Jazzmaster for over a decade. I knew it was my dream guitar the moment I first heard the name. I was actually more of a Gibson guy before I actually played one, finding Jags too cumbersome, Tele's too limited, and Strat's kind of boring.
