This is pretty much me too. I have many guitars, but just one with a cutaway. Low and behold, when I'm playing that guitar, I just happen to use those higher frets which become available.
I'd be fine without that guitar and without messing around higher than the 12th fret. It's not essential to my playing enjoyment. But I have the capability to play up there, and I'm encouraged to do so when it becomes an option while I play that particular guitar. It's a nice change of pace, IMO.
