Should the EMG 81 be in the guitar neck for leads and the EMG 85 on the guitar bridge for rhythm?

I've heard people switch them to that , but good thing about EMG pickups just like any other active pickups on the market you can swap them very easily without brining them to a guitar shop. you just take out the cable from the pickup and just replace it with say the 81, nothing fancy required... so go for it, some honestly like it more. Its all what you want to do really.
