Can anyone tell me the difference between a Wax potted humbucker and a P-90 in terms of sound, quality, etc?

I'm looking at two guitars (Agile) LP copies. One has the P-90 pickup and the other has these wax potted humbuckers. I like the looks of the Humbucker version better, but the other looks nice as well. They're the same price. Can anyone tell me the difference?

Thanks

Hey thanks, man. The lounge proves itself to be useful for more than just wasting time while isomniating.

Go for the humbucker one. If those guitars are copies then chances are they're cheapo pups which will need replacing sometime. You'll have a wider choice of replacement without body routing if you go for the humbuckers.
