Should I switch pickups?

I played my first gig with the new pups on Friday and must say it sounded way better than rehearsing in the practice space with the band.  Having monitors in front of me (we don't rehearse with monitors) helped a lot with perceiving my sound as cutting through the mix.  So much better sustain with these pups.  Especially when your in the midst of bending a string.  The old pups weren't good enough to really catch and hold onto those bends to let them shine through.
