You be the judge.  I think they both sound great and together, it is a monstrous sound.  You can't go wrong with either one.  But, this reissue unit has been modified to a point-to-point circuit board so it may sound just a tad better than one with a printed circuit board.  Everyone I've ever heard explain the difference is the reissue is brighter almost on the brittle side.  I think the old 1963 may have sounded the same when it was new.  it has mellowed some with age and it probably has to do with the composition of the springs. I'm using my 1964 with the original  pickups that were just repaired by Aaron at Rumpelstiltskin Pickups after sitting in my room for over 10 years.
