After replying I remembered that there is a 3rd option! The rail pickup design! :)[br][br]I have a couple of guitars with Dimarzio Fast Track pickups. They also have a slightly different sound. It's more balanced, but it also follows the curve of the strings on the Strat radius.

This guy does a good job of showing a rail or blade design, but he's referring to the Hot Rails by Semour Duncan.
