Late 70's T-Tops vs replacement PAF types

I've recently had a chance to compare my 79 Norlin Custom (which has late 70's T-Tops, 500k Pots except bridge volume which is 300k) with another Les Paul with Lollar Imperials (all 500k pots).

I noticed that the guitar with the Lollars seemed to have a more full sound in the neck pickup (more lows, less mids), as well as more chirp in the middle position.
My guitar with the T-Tops seemed more focused in the mids.


My question is: Is that just the nature of the late T-Tops? Are they just more mid focused with less lows and less of a full sound?
How would they compare to other PAF types, such as Antiquities, Seths, etc?

I realize they were also two different guitars, so it's not easy to make that generalization. I'm hoping to get anyone's insight who may have made the comparison.

i have 79 T-Top (dated baseplate) and a Lollar bridge bucker. These are totally different pickups from different sides of the A5 vintage bucker direction. The T-top is made with poly wire with a strong mag while the has PE wire and degaussed mag. The T Top makes are great neck with a clear response and highs. In the bridge spot it is cutting but thin IMO.
The Lollars are always full and warm and have a recessed ability to cut with a full band. Hence i liked in my 335 clone, made it fuller sounding.

So it seems to be a little of both then, with the Lollars and the T-Tops?
I've noticed that the T-Tops don't sound as chirpy with the Neck + Middle pickups selected, and I wondered if that was the pickups, or that I have a 300k pot in the bridge volume. It was even less so with a 300k in the neck volume, but it cleared up with the 500k pot; I've just been hesitant to switch the bridge pot as I've heard the T-Tops can sound thin with that combination.

I would not go with a 500k for T-Top in Bridge, but i would not go with T-Top in Bridge either.
