Talk me out of adding a second output jack to J160E; suggest me a pickup

My reality (and crushed checking account) is that "perfect acoustic tone" does not exist when using ANY pickup. Want "perfect acoustic tone"? Buy a great microphone and stick it in front of your guitar...and hire a sound guy.

With that reality, I am much poorer but have arrived at a sound that I'm very happy with on all of my guitars and am pleased to report that I have NOT bought a pickup or preamp in some years!!!
