I have an Anthem SL and it comes with a small plastic screwdriver to adjust the pickup balance. I think all you get for an extra $100, is ability to flip the system polarity easily. A short jumper cable can be built/ bought to do the same if it comes up.
That said, the K&K/Dazzo passive style implies an outboard preamp before DI. In the guitar or on the floor....you have to ponder the trade offs.
As of 2019, the goto approach for some top Nashville guys was K&K in the guitar and the Tonedexter...which isn't cheap, but they had or had easy access to any microphones they wanted to capture.
Glue = commitment!
