looking for my next one....

I'm kinda feeling like I'm getting the bug to get a new guitar, and PRS is usually what gets me excited. I still don't own a 335, and almost bought a Reverend Gristlemaster... but, I'm really comfortable/familiar with PRS. I'd love some suggestions, as maybe I'm overlooking some options. Budget is $2k-ish, I'm totally fine with player grade used stuff - dings & dents don't bother me at all. I've seen ToneGeek's CE24 with a middle humbucker, and it intrigues me. I've only played a Special Semi-Hollow once, but that one didn't seem to be different enough from what I've got to justify the price (maybe I need to play one again/adjust middle pickup height?).

Own:
McCarty Archtop
2002 McCarty
DGT
Silver Sky
SE SAS

What I like/want:
satin neck (torrefied looks like $$$)
quacky sounds (similar to a strat #2 & #4)
neck humbucker tones
versatility & pickup options
I like the body carve of a core
stoptail or trem (neither is a necessity)

What I don't like/want:
pickup hum
floyd rose
super flat fretboard radius
If you want something like a 335, I would suggest a SE Hollowbody II Piezo!! Nothing like anything you currently have. I absolutely love mine. So clean, but can also rock hard.
I also have a SE Mira and a SE Custom 24 Quilt-Top. It is a big step up from those. My favorite by far.
