A good factory push blade (i.e. not homemade) increases the value by a few hundred $$$. $2000 for a Cub with mower and blade is a decent deal.
Yeah, a 10HP Cub Cadet will "mow circles" around a 10HP Cub, but it's only taking a 42" swath and only has to move 300lbs of tractor while doing it.
If you only take a 42" swath with the 59" mower, a Cub will walk right along with the Cadet on the flat, walk up hills where the Cadet spins out, and lug through heavy spots that will put the Cadet flat on its face.
Nothing says you have to take a full pass. I mowed with a Cub Loboy for 4 years and in the early part of the season when the grass was really growing, I was getting along just fine taking 2/3 to 3/4 of a pass. Didn't take hardly any longer either...
I really didn't like the tractor itself so I bought a Husqvarna rider with a 46" cut. Still takes me about the same time to mow the lawn as it did with the Cub.
