How Close To The Strings Are Your Pickups? Options

[The Farmer]

I got a guitartech to put in emgs pickups on my guitar about a half year ago. And i was just wondering of how close those of you who use emgs have them to the strings mine are: neck 5 mm and bridge 3 mm. Now what seems strange to me is that the instruction for installing the pickups said that to get fully effect out of the pickups you should put them as close to the strings as possible, but the guitartech (Who isntalled mine) said that if he put them to close the sound would be bad??? iactually believe that they sould be closer for i think they sound great but am sure that they could sound a bit better if i moved them closer, especially the neck picup because i use them a lot. eitherway whats your opinion on this? i just know that my guitar could sound a tad more evil \m/
