anyone here own a EBMM EVH or axis?

I needed to know if you think the dimarzios in these are really close to a tone zone and air norton?
is it worth buying the EBMM set for a little more cash($40 more)
or will a TZ/AN set be the same?

i've got an axis sport, which has those dimarzios in it. i've never heard an air norton, so i can't comment on the neck comparison, but i've had plenty of experience with the tone zone. the axis bridge is similar, but more dynamic imo. there's less of that overpowering low end/low midrange that characterizes the tone zone. it seems more balanced, but it's still very aggressive sounding. i really dig it and wish dimarzio would release it as a stock model.
