P24 vs P22 Trem?

[Kazz]

Does anyone have video or audio that would help me hear exactly what the difference in sound between a P24 and a P22 is? Preferably the same player, same pickups (or very similar, like 85/15 and 58/15), same amp settings, etc. to avoid other differences that might be misleading.

I'd be especially interested in the 2016 models with 85/15s and 58/15s, but older ones with 57/08s, 53/10s or whatever else would also be good. Including any of the P245/P245SH/HB/HBII range would also be nice, but I don't think I want to give up the trem...

Even a Custom 24 vs Custom 22 (again player, pickups, amp, etc. being the same or as similar as possible) would be useful if anyone has that laying around?

Nothing I've been able to find so far narrows the differences down enough for me to get a clear picture of what and how much effect the pickup placement is having, so anything you can post or point me to would be helpful!

Bump - No one has anything like this? In the official PRS videos I found they used guitars with different pickups, maybe because the differences otherwise are too small for most people to pay much attention to? I know a lot of you guys have a clear preference for one or the other though, so I'd like to really understand the difference and make the right choice.

I've heard the "vintage vs modern sound" comparison, but I like a variety of each, and there are obviously many different sounds encompassed by each, so that comparison doesn't really give me enough to work with.

Unfortunately I don't know of a local shop with any piezo equipped PRS, let alone a variety to test and compare...

So here is my take the neck pickup on the 24 is a bit brighter making the difference between the bridge and neck a bit less than a 22 all other things being equal.
As far as most PRS go the 22s and 24s often have different pickup to bring out the best in each also electronic are pretty easy to change so in my IMHO its more about what you are more comfortable playing.
I do love my CU24 but my 22s are my go to guitars

Thanks man, I've seen that video (and just watched it again), but since the pickups (and bridges) are different it's hard for me to tell. Maybe I should just focus more on playability. I think my Core Starla (22 fret, 24.5", wide fat) is generally more comfortable on the lower frets or chords that require a long stretch, but trying to play chords higher up can be difficult compared to my SE Custom 24 (obviously 24 fret, 25", wide thin)...I'm sure I'd be happy with either, but until I can order one I guess I'll just continue to keep my eyes open for more narrow comparisons.

If anyone comes across one, please post it!
