If you are planning on changing the pickups, like you said, you need to do this BEFORE you start shopping for amps. I have a 1527 with a Dimarzio Evo and Blaze in it, and it changed the sound from stock quite a bit. I think the new pickups would make that "messy" dual rectifier sound a lot better. But, that said, they would also make the 5150 and the ENGL sound different too.
