Closest thing to an EMG81 for a 7?

I've been playing my EX a lot lately and I've come to the conclusion that I absolutely love the sound of it. It sounds better than my 7 string even if I tune it down to B standard. My 7 has a 707 at the bridge which I like but it just doesn't sound as good as the 81. Does the 81-7 get close or are there any other alternatives?

Yeah I would have thought the 81-7 was the obvious answer :scratch:
I have to say though, the 81 in my PRS has slightly less output than the 81-7 in my LTD. Only very slightly. But that could be down to many factors - battery, wood/construction, string age, different electronics etc etc. They are voiced identically though, the only differences occurring are due to the different guitars they are in.
