The fact that I hear the track as 'just sitting there' when done in a purely acoustic fashion, and you don't is what it is: I am, more now than ever, trying to serve the song performance (live or on record), and you're more about serving tradition, and neither is better than the other.
Stick to your guns, always.

No, not tradition considerations. I just like the sound better most of the time and a better sound better serves the music.
Of course "better" is subjective.
I do like good quality reverb (in moderation). I do like the sound of certain acoustic guitar pickups (mainly used to smooth
out the sound and round out the low frequencies).
