By moving the single-coil closer to the bridlge position it tends to get rid of a lot of that overly rounded sound

Yeah i'd agree pretty much.
In my guitar i have a H S H set up and play my metal stuff using the Bridge humbucker and my dire straights with the single coil. Its a good compromise and gives me the range i need with out two guitars.
But at the end of the day i'd go for humbuckers as the nosie cancelation and the fatter distortion sound they give wins me over.
Considering a second guitar with a full set of hotrails in it abit like dave murrays guitar from iron maiden like he used on the Rock in Rio gig.
