I'm aware of all the differences in magnet types and winding techniques and have been through most of them, but usually find the tonal sweet spot so narrow it's rarely noticeable in a mix and not worth the 200 quid a time it takes to chase it.
Single coil pickups are a different matter, there's so much more character inherent in the pickup itself that you can end up with something which sounds like an entirely different guitar IMO.
EMG 81 is the V30 of the pickup world, in that people call it bright but really it doesn't have much treble, it just has cutting upper mids and not too much low end. One of those pickups where it either works or it doesn't, right now it is working well for me.
