Unfortunately I have no experience of the pickups you are trying to find something similar to however I do have a set of slowhands in a Japanese Strat. They are warm and balanced with a lovely clear tone . Very nice indeed and excellent for getting those lovely clean strat tones that we all love. I also have a set of Apaches and they are, to me, a little warmer though the Slowhands are ever so slightly more "middy" . If I had to chose between them I'd probably say Apaches but it is very close.
I've had both sets for years-whilst, like everyone else, I love trying new stuff and am always thinking about trying something else just for the sake of it, I must say that I have never been inclined to swap these pickups for something else. Indeed, I played in a little country pub last night with my band and took my Apache Strat and I was digging the tones in a big way. Pretty vague I like em" post so feel free to ignore-hopefully someone with some of the knowledge you need will be able to comment.
