Trem recommendations for PRS style build ?

Hi all. 

I have a PRS style build to finish and rather than go hardtail again I quite fancy a trem on this one. 
It’s a carved top but with a flat pickup plane, just like a PRS.   I have been looking at the Wilkinson trems after having good results with their wraparound bridges on a couple of other builds , but I am unsure which trem would be best.  The guitar will have a traditional bone nut - no locking etc.  

Any recommendations ? 
Cheers

    The Wilkinson WVLKPC has the PRS look about it. 

    The WVS50 mk2 is more of a chore to set up but, IMO, worth the effort. 

    The Schaller "Vintage Tremolo" is the same idea only better executed. (Like a Floyd Rose sans fine tuners.)

    Vibrato-equipped PRS Core guitars tend to have locking machineheads. In my experience, these make a worthwhile contribution to the overall tuning stability.
    You say, atom bomb. I say, tin of corned beef.

    Hipshot Contour has, I think, some of the rounded look.
