I own a Classic Player dual humbucker Jaguar and have played a HH Blacktop Jag previous to owning my Classic Player.
I personally prefer the Classic Player over the Blacktop. The CP has coil splitting abilities which offer up a wide range of tones that you can pull from the guitar. I wasn't particularly fond of the tones that I got when played the Blacktop, it was a bit too, for lack of better words and phrases, heavy/thick/Les Paul-EE for my taste, so I got a used Quier Duosonic and waited a couple of years to get a Jaguar when the CP's came out.
As for the tremolo, I find that it doesn't hinder changing the strings at all.
All in all, I'd say go for the Classic Player. You would probably find it more satisfying and versatile than the HH Blacktop.
