I've only had one guitar with 'real' P-90's and that was a) a decade ago and b) I hated it, not due to noise, and couldn't sell it fast enough.
The mean90s are by no means silent. Quieter than the single coils in my tele, yes, but no dead silent. If you're an anti pickup noise guy, you might not hack it. Then again - it's a cheap experiment, $35 new, less used, to find out for sure.
For the record, I also have no experience w/ noiseless P90s, but have heard good things. But if you have a guitar routed for humbuckers, want something close to p90s but don't want noise, I'd really be looking at a low output, lightly wax or unpotted, A4 paf with 500K or higher pots.
