Creamery 'hollow body humbucker' or mono 79 pickups - any experience?

in Made in the UK
I'm looking for a good, vintage voiced humbucker to put in my 335 style guitar, probably something like the Duncan antiquities. I was looking at pickup makers in the UK, as I'll probably get more for my money. 

Looking at bare knuckle, they don't seem to have anything as open sounding as the antiquity, but I could be wrong.

The creamery have a couple of 'low output' pickups: the 'hollow body' set (http://www.creamery-pickups.co.uk/ho...-alnico-5.html), and the 'mono 79' (http://www.creamery-pickups.co.uk/cr...er-pickup.html). Both of these have lower impedance than the antiquities. But no demos to be found.

Anyone have any experience with these pickups that could tell me how they sound? And whether they're anything like the antiquities?

    For the same output power and magnet loading the Bare Knuckles will be more 'open' than machine wound pickups like the Duncans, as will Creamery pickups or even my own. Comes of being scatter wound ... same for all hand wound pickups. DC resistance means nothing when comparing pickups made in a different way...
