Dot Deluxe – rolled fretboard and Epi '57 Classic Pickups

Hey guys! I have a Dot Deluxe from 2009, a stunningly beautiful flametop vintage sunburst that sounds really nice for blues and Chuck Berry-style rock 'n' roll (especially now that I lowered the pickups). The neck and fretboard is by far one of the most comfortable ones I've ever held in my hands (and I have owned a Gibson 335), and that is partly because of the rolled fretboard edges and the fact that the frets don't have any kind of edge sticking out.

 

Is this (rolled fretboard and no fret edges) normal on Epiphones, or at least higher end Epiphones? I'm including a photo for those who don't get what I mean.

 

Also, I was wondering about the Epiphone '57 Classic Humbuckers that are supposedly in the Dot Deluxe, instead of the regular Epi alnico humbuckers that are in the regular Dots. Has anyone tried both? Is there a big difference? To me, while they are not as clear as the Gibson '57 Classics they sound really good and come fairly close. Especially with a little overdrive.
