Need Pickup Suggestion for Baritone

The title almost says it all.

I have a PRS SE Baritone. The overal sound is very dark, and I know from having heard long scales from other brands that low does not have to be dark. The standard bridge humbucker's "brightness" would be about right or what one might expect from a humbucker in the neck position.

I'd like to replace both pickups with hum-cancelling pups that are significantly brighter. I have even considered FilterTron type pups.

Does anyone have any experience with this particular issue ... the need to make a barotone brighter (without going to single colis)?

Actually, longer scale lengths are generally brighter but I think the PRS pickups were trying to compensate for that and went too far in the other direction. I'd say the Sentient and Pegasus set would brighten it up but I don't know how you would feel about the hotter pups. The Full Shred set may be in your wheelhouse too.
