Default Taylor GS Mini ES Go pickup

I just picked up a used GS Mini and was thinking about a pick up for it. Has anyone tried the Taylor GS GO pickup? Is it worth $100 bucks?

The GS GO pickup is a magnetic, so it's going to tend making the guitar sound a bit like an electric. If you're going to get a GS GO do make sure the plastic clip is still installed inside the guitar up towards the heel block.

I installed a K&K Pure Mini in my mahogany GS Mini and loved the sound. I even used it as a substitute for my Tele in a really loud band situation, adding a D'Addario Screeching Halt sound hole plug to prevent most of the feedback tendencies.

I installed the JJB soundboard transducer (Prestige-330) that runs about $50 with shipping. Sounds great, and even comes with an endpin jack that fits into the strap button location on the GS Mini. No battery needed, and is totally invisible since it is mounted under the bridge area inside the guitar.
