looking for any opinions about Schaller 460 vs 2 post Hipshot Supertone (for older Gibby's) as they are both stud mount, both massive and the mechanics appear to be very similar.

I have the 3 point Hipshot Super on my burst TB and it's a good bridge.  A bit bulky, but you can't beat the flexibility of the adjustment mechanisms.  No problems with tilting or stud inserts pulling out.

 I always though the 460 was pretty awkward, I'd go with the HS over a 460.

I agree.  I had one of those Schallers and sold it to someone who really wanted one.  I didn't care for the design all that much.
