I like my cheap passive pickups better than my EMG actives

I was A/Bing my guitars tonight.

 

A Jackson Artist Signature (Christian Olde Wolbers) with EMG 81 at the bridge. ($664 USD)

 

An Ibanez RG570 with v8 at the bridge. ($820 USD)

 

An ESP LTD EX-50 with an ESP LH-100 at the bridge. ($319 USD).

 

I liked the el cheapo stock LTD pickups the best, followed by the v8, followed by the EMG 81.

 

I guess I'm a passive pickup kind of guy.

 

Anyone else prefer passives over actives for metal?

 

The passives seem to have more . . . I don't know how to say it . . . crunchiness? resonance?
