Chris, you've never used Blackouts, and Nick, who has experience with both Blackouts and EMGs, is telling you exactly what the differences are based on his first hand experience. Why are you arguing with him?

As for the noise issue, noise doesn't just mean 60-cycle hum and incessant buzzing. EMGs are a little noisy. It's not all that bad through a decent rig, but it is there. Play with an EMG-equipped guitar for a while, then switch out the guitar for one with some good passives. You should be able to hear at least a little bit of a difference.
