Default Non UST Option for Presys+ Preamp?

I picked up a Blueridge BG1500E last weekend and really like it unplugged. With a string change, it really does a nice job for me in what I think a super jumbo should sound like. But plugged in, it's pretty weak. It came stock with a Fishman Presys+ preamp and I'm guessing a cheapy UST, probably the Sonicore.

The preamp seems OK, but the UST is exactly what you'd expect in terms of lack of character and the ever present "quack."

So it has me thinking I want a different pickup, preferably one that will play nice with the Fishman Presys+, so I started looking at my go-to SBT options from JJB, but they specifically say their pickups won't work with Fishman preamps because of the input impedance mismatch.

So that leaves me wondering what UST might work with the Presys?

Or should I be looking at a changing the preamp out as well?
