One of the reasons I chose the 60th Ann. in Blizzard Pearl was that it was basically a JV with the C shaped neck and 3 ply guard. The Tex Mex are sweet pickups as well. There is only one choice of color in the Roadhouse, and the extra hot bridge pickup in the JV is another selling point. 100 dollars more at MF, and the V neck might be the only drawbacks for the JV.
As said before play them both if possible.
The Blues is alright!

I have tried the Roadhouse. But not the JV. I keep looking around hoping for the opportunity.
Actually the Roadhouse has 3 color choices White, Black and Sunburst.

Yep more colors than one on the roadhouse and T.S are some great pups in my personal opinion!!: Cant go wrong either way but the lil xtra coin for alnico5 mags is worth it!(both sets use them)
When I get a chance a lonestar will be added as I love P.G.'s and the combo option with the T.S.'s is awesome!

At store volume I thought the Texas Specials are awesome pickups. Really sweet sounding. I know that having them at the correct distance from the strings makes all the difference between sounding good or sounding bad.
The Tex Mex pickups at store volume didn't excite me in the same way. Which leads me to believe that at gig volume they are going to be just right. They'll have a bit more growl and sound thicker which in a room full of noisy people can made a big difference on you being satisfied with your guitar sound on a gig.
Still my preference is the Specials just cause they sound sweet. So Roadhouse.
Now the way I'd really do it is get the JV and put in the Special pickups just because I like the V neck.
