Squire CV70s vs Sire V5. Which one?

Hello! I watched over the CV Squire for a long time, since it was out of stock for months here in my country. I currently have a 5 string Cort bass, but always wanted a 4 string JB, preferably Fender style, but original Fenders are too expensive for my budget.

The VM sound would've been ideal for my tastes. I can't find any used VMs nearby, I gotta stick to the CV model, which for me sounds a little too fat-muddy. Blindfolded, a Fender compared to a Squire gets instantly recognized by my ear. I just like the Fender much more. Then I get upset because I can't afford one lol

I don't like Marcus Millers' sound signatures. They are just too "meaty" for me, too "beefy". No matter how much I try (becaue I tried for so long), I just don't get along with their sound. But I don't hate them.
The first time I saw the V5 was some time ago. Honestly, I ABSOLUTELY loved the neck look. But then I moved on since I just couldn't like it's sound. However, I decided it was worth taking a look at it again. And oh my god, the neck is SO HANDSOME!!!

I thought about buying some Fender PUs and replacing them with Sire's. But this would be pricey... The Squire unmodified is the best for my budget. The Sire unmodified is a little above my budget, but still in the range. The Sire combined with the Fender pups would be above my budget. Then I thought about the Squire combined with the Fender pups, which would be great.

So what do you say?
Is the Squire unmodified exactly what I need? Should I change the pups with original Fender's? And do I overthink the situation?
How does the Sire's neck really feel? It looks amazing!
What is the way to go?

Thanks in advance
