Hi GCW...
Not a fan of undersaddle pickups...not since I found the under bridgeplate units.

In combo with a mic, the element would be stronger than the ribbon, and I think you are just exchanging one set of piezo-y characteristics for the another.

With it's higher gain the LB6 is harder to overdrive (which is why it sounds less piezo-ish). My question to you is are you committed to staying with a Baggs rig no matter what, or are you wanting your guitars to sound as natural as possible?

A simple K&K pure western mini by itself sounds as good as most dual source rigs with undersaddle and ''something else''. Add a preamp to the K&K and it outstrips them. So do the BBand and PUTW under bridgeplate units (when preamplified).
