Default pizeo? pizzazio?

has anybody used these sticky "pick-ups" with comparable date to say a sound hole pick-up...?

i'd rather have a pedal preamp than deck out my acoustic..

besides it seems like the pizeos would give a better tone from inside the guitar body..especially for flamenco stuff

If you mean like the Barcus Berry stick on "piezo" than yes. In essence the venerable K&K is a stick on piezo, but it's usually stuck inside the guitar (permanently). They have their strengths and weaknesses like any pickup.
Feedback and boominess being the main problems.
