Another thing, you wont lose definition or clarity just cause a certain pickup has less highs.
Since you play metal, you might want to check into the EMG pickups(81,85), or the DiMarzio X2N, or the Bill Lawrence XL500.(for bridge position) All of these have similar sounds, wich consists of a high output, and a sound leaning towards alot of highs.
