Ummm...not to be a dick or anything but.....awww what the heck, I guess I'm a dick....why would you buy something with so distinctive a sound as a Tele and then decide you want to slap a HB in it? I don't think you're going to get the same sound ...
For what it's worth, I don't think you're "being a dick". I think your point is quite valid. I have a pair of humbucker-equipped Teles, one of which has a coil split, and neither of them sounds like the traditional models. They each sound great, but not at all "twangy" ...
