What is the difference, if any, between Fenders Twin Head humbuckers in their American Deluxe HSS Strat and the Twin Head Vintage humbuckers in the American Standard HH Strat?

Modern Twinheads are hotter than their vintage counterparts.

To answer my own question, the vintage models are slightly brighter, more open sounding and less compressed than the regular Twin Heads.
I like them.

I played the Vintage in a MIA strat HH standard. They are Alnico 5 in the bridge, and Alnico 2 in the neck. Usually but not always Alinco 2 are warmer, spongier, compressed, quieter than other Alnicos. Alnico 5 are put in many bridges either stock or mods because they have good highs, tight lows, mid scooped. JB's and Full Shred come to mind. Also Screamin Demons. (Seymor Duncan). I haven't played the Twin Head Modern Humbucher on the HSH Deluxe. But they are for sale in the Fender shop for $160.00 for bridge HH and another $160.00 for the neck.

I am thinking of switching out my Blacktop neck in my MIM Strat HH (new) for the Twin Head Modern
