Could anyone maybe explain the difference in the 2, like what each would be better for?

Warpig is the biggest, bassiest and most powerful pup in the range (asides from maybe the UberSinner and the Pig90 but those are special order. I did once have the idea of wiring two Pig90s into a humbucker but sheer amounts of routing caused me to think otherwise. Perhaps I could get try it in a warmoth build; Tim said it would be monstrous). Good for Jazz (all across the range), Death Metal, Regular Metal, Shred (I can recommend it; neck is great for a Satriani style tone when used with an orange Tiny Terror and an overdrive), Extreme metal, Heavy rock/blues. (list is non-exhaustive)

Painkiller is more refined for a sort of Judas Priest tone but can do Thrash, Trad metal, Hard rock, shred etc. In short it's more of a late 70's/80's pickup but someone will come in and correct me in a short while.

I can recommend the warpig neck for a lead player and a Ceramic Pig for a good rhythm sound (big mutes and chords).
I too use chicken as a measurement.

Just installed my Ceramic WP in my Les Paul and coil tapped it. EXTREME bottom end with amazing clarity. Even arpeggiating chords at full saturation, even string rings out clearly. :twisted:
