If you don't want the K&K, I would look at the Ultratonic. I have two CEO-7s and have the KK lus the Ultratonic upgrade. It has made ALL the difference in my live setup. Of all the guitars I have owned with KKs, and that number is way to high to admit here, the CEO7 keeps its place at the top of "hard to control". I think those guitars being so resonant in the low end contributes. My Collings CJ35 and eEVERY OTHER GUITAR I HAVE OWNED were all easier to control with a notch and EQ. I love the way my two CEO7s sound live now. The extra sensor on the highs makes a big difference. I have not been impressed with the Hi-Fi sound samples but that may be a good option. There are some other SBTs that are supposed to be really nice. Maybe someone with one of those will chime in.

I had a LR Baggs Lyric in my CEO-7 and it was nice at low volume. At gigging volume with drums it was just midrangy, not nice.
I replaced it with a LR Baggs HIFI that I prefer by far.

When I had my CEO-7 I installed a JJB Prestige 330 and it sounded awesome plugged straight into my mixer or one of my Loudbox amps. I highly recommend. It is the same technology as a K&K but it's not quite as hot and doesn't sound as brittle to my ears, it just sounds more natural. I switched from K&K to JJB several years ago and it's still my go to pickup.
