Regular Distortion or Parallel Axis Distortion in a mahogany bodied, set maple neck, rosewood fretboard USA Hamer Californian?

From what I've heard, if you can afford the PATB2, go for it, but if not the SH-/TB-6 Distortion. They are basically the same pickup except that the PATB2 has a little more output and some other things I've forgot about.
 
Re: SH-6 or PATB2

Very strange that you ask this now. I have both and still did not decide what too choose.
The PATB-2 is darker and more bassy, the TB-6 has a brighter tone.
Both are agressive, but i think the PATB-2 has more output and suits more metal riffs, while the TB-6 suits for riffs and shredding.
The PATB-2 sounds more modern to my ears.
Maybe it might be too dark for your (already darker sounding mahagony) guitar.
