Ash was explaining to me how fragile the copper/nickel pole pieces were and just how umobtainium they are and even then how impossible it is to cut a thread on them?
I think the WR is one of the best pups ever- almost a step between P90's and Buckers.
My Thinline still sounds like the roar of god.

I know neither use the CuNiFe magnets of the originals, but i dont think that makes a massive difference really. The threading on the magnets won't do much either so Ash's aproach makes sense - the location of magnets within the coil makes all the difference
Making them like a normal humbucker in a wide range case just makes them a bit pointless to me.
Although I was looking at marc's site earlier and considering how much i would like a wide range pickup with short blade pole pieces on either side...

About an hour ago I pushed the button on one of Marc's.

Buy something proper.
A proper wide range design gives you a different tonal option to a normal humbucker. So the choice is an aesthetic, and a tonal one
didn't realise telenator was still making them, last i remember they were strictly limited to a few hundred sets before his supply of CuNiFe magnets ran out - that was some years ago though
