G6131MY or 6128T ?

it's been years i'm thinking about buying a gretsch duo jet double cutaway (and it was my birthday 2 days ago ! LOL) and i still hesitate between the malcolm young signature 2 pu's model and the 6128T with filtertron pu's and bigsby.
i was afraid the badass bridge wouldn't give enough sustain but some people on the forum said it was not a problem , the badass bridge was working fine for them.
a guy came in my house to try a jtm45 i built and i was blown away how good this guitar was sounding (he had the "' 6128T " but single cutaway model, not sure if it's named 6128T ?).
i don't care about the malcolm signature but i wonder if i should take the bigsby model knowing i don't plan to use the vibrato much on that guitar (but i'd like one on a sg61 ri) , that's why i thought about the malcolm signature as it doesn't have the vibrato.
is there way to replace the stock vibrato and "wood" bridge with a standard tailpiece and bridge ?
what model are available and did you try them on your 6128T ?
also, i prefer the black colour, so if i can find some standard bridge and tailpiece to put on, i might take the 6128T more than the 6131MYR (or natural color).
i heard they were of better quality for a few years (since bought by fender ??) but i don't know from what year ?
