I usually play Hard Rock with a vintage high gain tone. For that, hotter humbuckers are fine. I have been happy with a CC in my Strat. Now I'm starting to get into Surf and clean, twangy stuff more. When I play clean I like to be able to pop the low E string pretty good and have it punch right...

I'm thinking of replacing the C5 in my Strat's bridge with something lower output that won't "fart out" and distort a clean channel under a heavy attack. I like a balanced tone and the warmth of A2 mags. How would these two compare? Thanks.
