Mule set vs riff raff set

Could any one chime in on the differences...specifically the neck pickups?

Thanks

Basically the difference is 50's and 60's PAF-tone. More rounded/balanced (Mule) towards more biting/agressive tone with more treble (RiffRaff). Neckpickups: I have experience with the Mule, which is a classic 59 PAF, smooth, balanced but with enough uppermids and topend, yet not as crisp and bright as the RR-neck. By example, for strumming the RR-neck is great. Technically: AIV vs AV-magnet with a shorter coil.
Mules, VHII, Crawler, MM's, IT's, BG50's.
