All Lace pickups are designed and developed around 250 pots and.022 caps. However, most users replacing humbucker pickups simply do not bother to switch them out and roll with the 500k pots and .047 caps in their instruments. Gibson and ESP do the same. They seem very happy with the outcome. The major difference is that higher value pots bring additional brilliance to the top end and drastically reduce the amount of taper/roll-off (no Strat volume swells). So it really comes down to a matter of taste, preference, the amp you use, the guitar, pedals and style(s) of music one performs.

I know the way lace sensors are made they are not supposed to have any volume drop in single coil mode but it should still change the sound.. I'll study the drawings a little.
I'm also assuming your push pull pots only have an up and a down position right? Two of those lace wiring schematics are for 3 position toggles.
