Default acoustic electronics

I'm trying to decide between the Seagull S-6 Cedar Slim with the Quantum 1 electronics or the Simon & Patrick Woodland with the A3T electronics. The guitars seem to be basically the same except for the electronics. Does anyone have a preference for one of the two pick-up systems?
Thanks,
smithbern

Yes, I used a Seagull cedar with the Quantum. Fine sound acoustic and electric as well. The playability is not quite on par with the finest in the jungle, but for a fraction of the price the S6 gets a great sound fast. Light guitar in a light case is also easy to get used to.

I'd say get either without electronics and put a K&K PWM in.

Default Q-1 vs A3t

Thanks all,
But what is a
K & K PWM?
Will it sound better than my Martin D-35 Gold Plus?

Pure Western Mini, made by K&K. It's now called simply the Pure Mini:
