Just though I'd share a bit advice before Nick gets swamped with orders. Some of the best sounding clips on the BKP websire, IMO, are of the VHIIs which are by no means high gain brutes.
When I put my order in with Tim I told him I needed some versatility and that
I play more lead than rhythm and he suggested the Nailbomb over the Warpig and I'm soooooooooooooooo glad he did.
That pickup in the bridge just sings and it can still get pretty "brutal" for lack of a better word. (I hate that term)

It handles different levels of gain really well.
It's more organic sounding and open sounding than the Warpig, and if I was only playing metal with my Carvin I would 've gone with the Warpig, but the Nailbomb let's me do so much more than just metal.

Can I be the devil on your shoulder?
