Older 57s varied a bit as well but those were the better sounding ones to my ears. Always worth trying the guitar as is first. My 2003 Nashville 63 reissue has a really nice set of 57s and have never bothered to try and change them out unlike a few other ES' I've had.

I have an SG with '57s. It sounds... like an SG.
Don't get bogged down by internet bollocks about the relative merits of a particular pickup over a very similarly spec'd pickup.
In my experience of Gibsons, the pickups are the least of your worries - go play it, if you like it buy it. If not, don't. Don't over think it.
Having said that, my current 335 (63 Block Inlay) has Burstbuckers that I prefer a lot more but that is obviously a personal thing. I could always make both work for me, no problem.
