EMG P/J vs. EMG P/J-X

I'm currently refinishing my Fender Jazz & figured that while I'm at it I might as well get some some desireable pickups in there. The ones in there now leave alot to be desired.
I'm looking for a big, full, bass in yo face type a tone. So naturally EMG's are lookin pretty neat. Specifically the EMG Active P/Js

The new X series claims more headroom and a more "organic & open" tone...
Now, I'm not sure what any of that means. So I was hoping some folks could give me a quick 'what to expect' for tone differences between the two

:help:
