One thing that SBT's do extremely well is provide a nice, woody tone. I have tried UST + mic set ups (Anthem, Fishman Matrix Blend) and it's true that the mic adds air but they never fully provide that woody tone. I am probably not making any sense but I just find that internal mics tend to just add high end but almost too much. It's not really organic, it's more like a presence control.
With all that said, I still think a system like the K&K or HFN + the Tonedexter is the best way to go. You get the air from the TD, the woodiness and bass from the SBT and then you have the ability to do percussive work. In terms of feedback, I have never had any on stage and I play in some incredibly noisy bars without a feedback buster.
