Small double pole pieces versus large MM pole pieces (Delano)

What is the general difference in sound between these?

I'm trying to decide between purchasing an off the shelf Delano MM (MCAL5 or perhaps the Jay Ray) humbucker versus getting a humbucker from their custom shop loaded with two JC AL 5s. I love the way JC AL5s sound both at the bridge and neck on demo clips, and that is the pickup that will be installed at the neck on this bass.
