Much, much more so than the difference between acoustic guitar pickups.

If it were me (and I know it's not) I'd do virtually everything in my power to mic that Humphrey as part of my "main" sound. Reducing it to being just a monitor seems like such a titanic waste. I'd want that glorious sound "out front" for sure
