Comparison:
p90s will be deeper, wider and narrower.
the narrowness will mean a full scratchplate - if you've a half-batwing.
On the other hand, you could achieve some sonic transformation by installing humbucker-sized P90 pickups.
At the upper end of the Epiphone price range, it might be worth investing in Seymour Duncan P-Rails and Triple Shots.

Gibson P-94s have open-topped metal covers. This must reduce the treble attenuation. The downside is that the bridge/Treble position unit is not noticeably hotter than the neck/Rhythm position one.

I installed one in my brother-in-law's Epiphone Firebird Studio and it sounded really good, and they're only £17 each or £30 for the set.
Oil City only do plastic covered ones - I'm sure I've seen Ash say on here he hates how a metal cover changes the sound.
I haven't looked recently, but Rio Grande used to. I had serious GAS for a Bastard/Fat Bastard combo at one point. At the time I had a pair of the SKY/ Kent Armstrong humbucker sized P90's in an Epiphone Korina SG. The SKY pickups actually sounded great in that guitar. Later I had them in my much abused/routed California Series Tele which I think I sold on here 4-5 years ago. If you are happy to spend Rio Grande money and similarly purchase from the US then there is also Harmonic Design who make some interesting pickups.
