Roswell MA4 for Sterling Ray24

Hi! Some time ago I modded my Ray 24 for series/parallel operation with push/pull pots. It sounds great at home, but depending on the band I'm playing with, sometimes I find it lacks presence; it's hard to cut through the mix at gigs.

Looking at Lobster's thread, it seems the problem could be because the stock pickup has very little winding, since it's designed to be played in series. Perhaps a pickup swap, maybe an Alnico V, could give more mids and solve this problem? I don't want to spend too much on the "experiment," so one option I'm considering is a Roswell MA4.

Other options I've thought about are Donlis, Fleor, or Wilkinson (this one is hard to find in stores).

What do you think? Any advise?
Thanks.
