Interesting, A3 has less pull than A2 and A5? I've really liked the AIII pickups I've played. I had it in my mind that the brighter/edgier the tone: the stronger the pull of the magnets but I guess that was wrong.
Do PAF-style humbuckers use pole magnets as well or do they have an Alnico bar under the poles? How much pull do these put on the strings?
