'57 classics vs. Ants in an ES333?

[Lend27]

I'm not happy with the stock pickups in my 333. I have Antiquities in my Les Paul and love them. However I have heard that 57 Classics are the best in a 335 type guitar.
How do these compare?

Thanks

I far prefer the Antiquities to the 57 Classics. The Antys are warmer, smoother and more musicial IMHO. I found the 57 Classics in my 59 RI LP a bit on the harsh side with too much top and not enough mids for my taste.
