Yamaha BB Questions

I have two questions for Yamaha BB-users here:
1. I want to upgrade the tuners of my Yamaha BB714 to Gotoh GB2, but I'm not sure if they will fit. My Attitude LTD also has these tuners, but the Headstock is considerably bigger on the Attitude. I have never seen a BB with Gotoh GB2s, maybe someone here tried this before?

2. Can you guys compare the sound and output of the BB2024 blade Pickups to a regular Vintage-P-Pickup? I'm thinking about a pickup upgrade here and I'm not sure if I wanna throw in some Dimarzio Will Powers/ Relentless (which I love from my Attitude) or maybe try something new with the Yamaha Blade Pickups.

any help is appreciated. :)
