It's hard to get a good compromise in this situation, but I ended up putting a higher value tone cap in my strat and then creating a no-load tone pot for my LP as well as going with a higher value (1 meg) volume pot. This helped them meet in the middle a bit.
A better cap will help with the sound when it's rolled off, but wont make enough difference in the sound on 10 to help your situation much.

Then there is always a stompbox EQ that you could use when your playing the Les Paul (what I did for a while).
