Yup they sound very different, I've had a few of both. The SR5HH was smoother, can have more of a scoopy tone.
The L2500 has way higher output and is all attack and sustain.

Thanks that's the sort of thing that I need to know. Am I correct in thinking that you can still get a good aggressive ray tone from the HH? From youtube etc. I can hear nice rounded and boomy tones but need that classic ray zing too

Yeah, you won't get the Stingray sound from the L2500. I had both a L2500 and a USA SUB5 for a short time... The L2500 is more like a Jazz who went to same competitions that Arnie used to go to. Very powerful, can be both smooth or aggressive, and it's lovely, but if the Stingray sound is what you're after then it won't be a good match. I loved both, soundwise.

The Lakland 55-02 is another hybrid. Still no Stingray, but it gets closer than the L2500 when you use the top coil alone and play with the preamp a bit. However, if you really must have the Stingray sound, this won't do it either, although it's ultra versatile and sounds great and has the nicest neck I have ever played on a 5 string.

Well I have a Stingray, which I love and is my gigging bass (in fact I have two if you include my Fretless) and an L1505, which I also love and is an absolute beast and find myself lucky enough to be able to look for another.
I see no point in simply duplicating what I have..hence my post
