Thanks for inspiration! I've been hovering over whether to participate the Helsinki Tonefest guitar show in May or not. Will talk to the organizers tomorrow.

I hear more midrange, more "texture" in the vintage one. Granted it's not apples to apples but this is consistent with my experience about what makes vintage dearmond pickups unique in the first...
