I had a SD Hot Tele bridge and a Hot Strat neck pickup in a Tele and I found them too warm for me, lacking any real Tele bite. So I swapped them out for some more traditional pickups and I much prefer the sound. Obviously YMMV. But see what you think when you fit them. If you do find them a bit dull, you could try fitting 500k pots to add in some extra treble whilst keeping the higher output power. It's an easy change to make later.
Excellent point about the electrosocket. Out of pure dumb luck I got the imperial version. I'm clearly still very new to this!

As for the pick-ups, I did a fair bit of research on the tone I was after before deciding on these. Including playing around on a guitar fitted with them. That being said it's hard to say how they sound until they are on the guitar itself. Fingers crossed it sounds how I think it should in my head, if not I'll be back for more advice. That being said I'm not that much of a tele traditionalist, I want think thing to look and sound different, whilst tipping it's hat to its telecaster roots if thay makes any sense?
