Tonerider P90's

I'm considering installing a set of Tonerider P90's into the middle and neck positions of a parts Strat. It's an HSS setup. I currently have a Tonerider Rocksong bridge humbucker in there together with 2 Seymour Duncan stacked single coils. I love the sound of the Rocksong with thew Alnico 2 magnet but I have never liked the sound of the Seymours and although they are quieter than the old Fender pups that were in there before they just don't sound like nice and fat like the Fenders before. The body has been pre-routed for an HSH configuration and it won't be a problem routing the middle cavity for the larger P90, and the scratchplate won't be a problem to route either. Has anyone ever tried this setup? I'm sure I will get nice thick tones if I do a conversion since I've never really liked the thinner sound of single coils with a humbucker.

Thanks all for the views, it is extremely enlightening and I feel a lot better about them now. I've considered the Kinmans but if it weren't for the price and my impatience and GAS I would have probably gone that route.

I'm happy to report that a set of Tonerider P90's are in the post and I shall hopefully have them by Monday! ?
