Need advice

Hey there!
So a few days ago I went to my local guitar shop and tested a few Les Pauls since I want to get a new one.
Beend playing my '91 Studio for a while now and thought about getting a Standard.
Now, I tested 4 models 1 60s and 3 50s because I found out, that felt better in my hands.
Now the catch:
Without looking at the price tag or specs, I fell in love with the most expensive of the bunch, which just so happened to be a AAAA custom top Standard. The price is CHF4000 (5000USD), the others without the custom top are about CHF2900 (3600$). Is it worth to pay that much extra just for the top? I do think it sounded and felt nicer than the others, but man... That's quite the jump... Should I just look for a used custom shop at this point?
Thanks guys!
