Default Dimarzio DP136

Anybody use this sound hole pickup? I am considering picking one up for my D15M. I tried it in the store through a small amp and it sounded fine. Any first hand opinions? Another option is a Dean Markley DM3015A.

Any opinions?

Well I didn't get any replies, but I did try them both out.

The local sales guy convinced me to buy the Dean Markley (it was half the price) so I took it home and tried it out. I was underwhelmed. I had to turn the amp up higher than I wanted to in order get decent volume, and that resulted in some unwanted noise. So I took it back and bought the Dimarzio, and this was far better. It has a volume slide on the pickup, which is nice, adjustable pole pieces, and most important, sounded far better. And I didn't have to crank my little amp up just to get a decent volume.

Dimarzio it is for me.
