I've read the FAQ's on this and scoured the web for feedback and I'm still unsure as to whether or not I should order my Irish Tour set with the backing plate on the bridge pickup. Can anyone advise me about this. I'm putting these in an EJ strat, maple neck. I realize the stock pickups in this are adequate but after a few years and experience with BKP I'd love to hear this with a different set, specifically the IT's. I guess I'm trying to determine if there is a major difference in sound and tone with or without the plate
