For me, the effort to get it installed was well worth it. I had a years long love/hate thing with K&K in several guitars previous to that.

FWIW / YMMV....
I'm not hearing why people rave about the K&K. Still needs a good bit of eq, so I guess I'm not really wanting the sound of the K&K. But honestly, at the price of the K&K add on, why not just go with the James May pickup? It's not that much more.
