SE CU24 Floyd - Radius mismatch - why?

[24Fretter]

The SE CU24 Floyd has a listed radius of 14". The 1000 series Floyd has a radius of 10". That's a bad mismatch. Why? The standard PRS radius is 10", which would be a lot better. The saddles might have to be shimmed a bit as the bridge radius will be somewhat flatter (Strings follow a cone, not a cylinder), but 14" is a bad mismatch at both the nut and the bridge. Why do that when the standard 10" is closer? I don't get it. The clearance over the 1st fret with be excessive on the middle 4 strings at least, making the guitar stiff and not play up to what it should.

likely to be a typo; I would be very surprised if it was not 10"

Did you know Floyd Rose now sells saddles in a bunch more radii?

New Radii link.

I read a review of the new saddles that said they're not accurate to what Floyd Rose says they are, and you're better off using shims anyway.

Can you please provide a link to the review? You have me curious.
