I think SD have the specs on their site, now if you dont want to get excited about what the magnet is made of (MMM< ALNICO V*drools*)etc...

Look at the output specs: the higher the output the more it should distort.

12 to 18 k should be ..er,more than enough.

Also see which artists are using that pickup..and if you groove on that sound [of course bearing in mind they may have a megawatt valve amp , great fx units ,etc,mere mortals have solid state amps and lesser gear,which of course alters the sound.]

As Bardsley says SD are popular (for some) so you may not have trouble selling it on later,if you don't like it.

They're to expensive for my pockets,but i'd go for their lower output pickups if the money came flooding in.

What does the tech at your local guitar shop have to say about them?
Accuracy,you say? hmm interesting concept..
