I've since sold the sc245 I posted in a previous post, and added these two a p22 and a custom 24
It is the nicest guitar I have ever owned, and a tie for the nicest guitar I have ever played.
I was a bit gunshy about getting it because I'd heard some negative reviews of the 513 pickup system but it's the best sounding guitar that I own. It's one of those guitars that you have to go to considerable effort to get to sound bad, and even then the tone you've created is probably just rubbish with anything. Everything kind of just works, heavy tones, mid gain tones, low gain tones, and if it doesn't work straight away, play around with the pickup configuration and you'll at least get something useable. Unless you've dialled in something reminiscent of a Boss ME 50 factory setting with everything on 10 and 8 effects running at once, in which case, see above, that's going to sound balls regardless of the guitar being played.

How much would you guys say a CU24 is worth? 10 top? Looking to get something a little less metal in the stable

Depends on how old it is, what finish, pickups, tuners etc, and what condition it's in. Check Guitar Center's used site, they have a ton of them. I'd say you could probably have a few to choose from on there in the $1200-1700 price range.
I feel like they were $300 cheaper just a few months ago.

Here are my 3.
Left to right, Royal Blue '13 SE Seven, Whale Blue '94 Cu24, Eriza Verde '12 Studio.
I've had the '94 since new, in May 1995. My wife and I hadn't been married quite a year then, and she bought me this guitar when we really, really couldn't afford it. I had a shot at an original '86 and blew it when I was 15. I knew this '94 would be it. Unfortunately, the '94 was NOT it, and I spent about 15 years wishing I'd never bought it. I finally came to terms with the fact that a '90's Custom is, at the core, a SuperStrat. If you use it like that, it makes sense. If you try to make it a Lester/Strat Hybrid, it's not quite right. Once I got my head around that, bought an appropriate SuperStrat amp (Mesa Mark V), changed pickups (now Duncan APII neck, Pearly Gates bridge), and the guitar came to life. Had PhilTone refret it (even thought it wasn't my fave, I played the H3LL out of it to appease the wife), and it's now the first one I reach for.
Second was the '13 Seven. I've wanted a 7 for years, but never pulled the trigger. The SE was my Christmas present last year. It's an absolutely solid guitar and has been what I needed to dip my feet in the 7 string world. Heavy enough to try Dream Theater, but versatile enough to play baritone parts on old Fabulous Thunderbirds tunes. GREAT budget 7.
The last one I got was the '12 Studio. I wanted another SuperStrat, but something with a bit more strat-ish neck PU. I bought this one new this spring, right after they'd been discontinued. Loved the color, and have come to adore the stock PUs. The Narrow Fields are a very cool blend of mini-bucker, P-90, and Strat, and the 57/08 may be the best vintage-sounding humbucker I've ever heard. This one does not have a 10 top (neither does my whale blue CU), but it does have a 1-piece ribbon back. Absolutely perfect out of the box. If I had to grab one guitar to make a gig that I wasn't sure what I'd be playing, it would be this Studio. And that's saying a lot, as it's knocked my Teles and Strats out of that slot.

So I've made my mind up. Definitely buying another SC before this time next year. Just gotta try to be financially responsible until I find a good deal 
Good thing I've got the rest of my GAS completely handled

Oh no I do
Literally eliminated everything else off my GAS list this year to the point where I can actually set a goal and get to it now haha
