Dimarzio SD (w/ Alnico V) vs. Duncan JB?

Just curious, does anyone have a direct comparison on tone between these two pickups?

I had both an older DiMarzio SD (with a ceramic magnet) and a newer Seymour Duncan JB in the same guitar. Totally different pickups. The DiMarzio has more bass punch and a lot more sizzle on top. The Seymour Duncan JB is clearer on the top strings but a bit woolly on the bottom strings. Unfortunately I have never heard of a DiMarzio SD with an Al 5 magnet.
