The 808's aren't too bad, especially if you are used to EMG's, flat response, clean sound and good output.
The 808x's have more headroom but the general sound is the same. Good for Cleans and they sound a bit more 'open'. Not the best, but better than normal EMG's.
The Blackouts have slightly boosted bass and treble. The result is a big sound! They sound more organic than the EMG's but have freakin high ouput.
The Dimarzios sound really good. I like every clip i have heard so far and i wouldn't mind getting some when i buy a cheap eight. They don't cost an arm and a leg and if you do not want to worry about batteries, they are the way to go!
My inbound Kxk has BKP aftermath's in. when i get them i'll give a review.
This!

Mainly this!
I hate active pickups though...
Seriously though not only are they affordable but everything I've read and heard so far puts them right up there with Lundgren's M8s but warmer sounding.
