Slow Hands are pure magic, as all Bare Knuckles I have tried are, they just don't sound anything like classic strat single coils at all to me. I don't know the SD set but if you want fuller mids than classic single coils and more output, but still the strat sound we know, you will probably be recommended the Irish Tours. In general I would take Bare Knuckles over production Duncans any day, but depends on one's goals too, of course.
