To some people it is a big deal. I'd be happy with the bootst/cut bass and treble controls of the Expression System. The active pickup in my guitar has neither tone controls nor a volume control.

Here is an onboard preamp with a 4-band equalizer:

Also, how big of an issue are we talking about with the "cord noise" assertion here?
It depends on several factors such as pickup output and cable length. It can be a significant issue or not.

I either don't have this issue with my K&K, or I have missed it. Should I be listening more closely for it?
No. If you have been happy with your setup, why go looking for trouble? The K&K Pure Western Mini has a high-output pickup so noise is less of an issue with it.
