RS Repro or Vintage for my 335?

I'm thinking about replacing the electronics in my 335 with either the RS Repro or Vintage pre-wired kit. Both of them have the same components other than the caps. What's the main difference between the two caps.......RS Paper and Jensen Oil Guitar caps versus Luxe Repro Paper and oil Bumblebee caps? By the way the pickups on the 335 are Burstbucker Pro 1 & 2, if that makes a difference. Thanks.

I went with the Vintage for my R9 335 with great results! I bought a premade harness from RS.

There is a great thread on MYPLESPAUL.COM that Billy from RS participated in. He shows the technique that he uses on 335's when changing out the electronics; quite helpful......

RS vintage kit brought my Burstbuckers to life. That guitar is gone now, but I have the Repro kit (Luxe BBs) on my SG with Sheptone PAFs... man, what a combo THAT is...
