Which Lollar neck pickup?

I'm trying to decide on a Lollar Tele neck pickup after trying a Special T neck and it was too dark sounding for me. I like the Special T bridge pickup. I just can't hear much of a difference from the Lollar website on my laptop computer. Can anyone give me a comparison of the Lollar Vintage T, 52 T and Alnico 3 neck pickups?

I have no personal experience with any of his pickups, but Lollar describes his Alnico 3 Tele neck pickup in the following way:

"If clarity is your number 1 consideration, this is your neck pickup. Unusually clear sound with even frequency response. In comparison to the Lollar 52, overall output is lower and bass response is leaner and tighter. Alnico 3 magnets, 43 gauge wire. Vintage style cloth covered lead wire. Wax potted."

In comparison to the descriptions of the other Tele neck pickups, it sounds like the direction that would best address your issue.

I have a Lollar Special T neck pickup and it is anything but "dark sounding".
