I just got my 594 Artist about a week ago. Rosewood neck with ebony board. Probably my favorite PRS and I've owned a lot. I have noticed that the smallest changes in pickup height effect tone dramatically. What height are you guys setting them to on your 594?

It is a great guitar.
It's all really a matter of taste. I just don't set them so high that the magnetic field dampens the string vibration.

I haven't felt the need to change mine. But if anything, the neck is a little boomy relative to the bridge, so perhaps I'll take the bridge down a hair to even them out a bit. But it certainly isn't something that is urgent.

Agreed.
I think you have to set each guitar to what you like best. Measurements from another guitar are mostly irrelevant.

I’ve generally found all my PRS pickups sound good at the factory recommended height. I start there and tweak minimally until I’m happy. My 594 has a hotter neck pickup than bridge but they seem to like to be set at pretty much the same heights anyways.

The factory height on their site is 3/32 bass side 5/64 treble side with string depressed at last fret. There aren’t any model specific guidelines, it’s really just a starting point but I’ve found it sounds pretty good as is.

Factory height when I unpacked the guitar was what I kept...gave me the tone I was going for. I had other PRS' for other tones.
