Have you played the Virtual Vintage 405 and 406 set? They have exactly what I think of as '50s tone. Noiseless or not doesn't particularly bother me, but it definitely takes nothing away from these pickups. It's an added bonus, if anything. They're fantastic sounding pickups.
Don't worry. If JB puts an exclamation mark at the end of this post, then he's generally trolling!

Those are the ones I have; 2 of one, 1 of the other. Can't remember which. A 54 Strat is supposed to sound sweet and airy and these deliver. They also have a lovely OD voice when driven by a Timmy.
That's how I know they sound excellent - from playing your Strat at the last Auckfest I attended. From memory the 406 is the bridge.
I have an Area 61 neck and Area 67 middle in my Strat (largely due to Matt's recommendation) and I'm totally satisfied - they'll be in there as long as I own the guitar, I imagine.
