Seths vs. Unbuckers

Anyone tried both of these? How would they compare? I'm looking for Les Paul PAF pickups with a sound that's got plenty of clarity and openness.
 
Re: Seths vs. Unbuckers

The alnico 4 Fralin Unbuckers would be more open than the alnico 2 Seth Lovers and have more clarity, be brighter, and have less mid range.

However, the Seth Lover sounds more like a vintage Gibson paf, although the neck Seth is underwound compared to a vintage Gibson paf, which also makes it clearer and more open than most vintage pafs.

If you could go back in time and compare, I think the bridge Seth Lover would be identical to a well above average vintage '57 and '58 Gibson paf.
