From the options you listed, the K&K with the DPA mic into an external two channel like the Grace Felix is a mighty fine system and about as good as you can get.
However. K&K is not the least invasive system due to its use of superglue. Once installed, it can compromise future installations due to glue residue. But, it sounds great, is passive, hassle free, a lot to love about it. Since the Trance won't physically work, your next best option, IMO is the Schatten HFN with Artist Preamp. It is also a two channel preamp, the HFN sounds better than K&K IMO and best of all, uses putty, so is fully non invasive. Downside is internal 9 volt battery and a bit of weight. It can be used with the Grace Felix, in fact the Grace can power the Schatten with phantom power, so you won't need the battery. But really the K&K two source system will sound fabulous. What kind of guitar, BTW? And welcome to the forum!

I have tried some :
- K&K pure mini (three mini-mic under bridge) with pre-phase switch to cut feedback and external K&K pre-amp. - K&K combo : pure mini with undersaddle piezzo and external mixing pre-amp - LR Baggs under bridge - LR Baggs combo : under bridge mic with undersaddle piezzo. An important question : do you want a battery inside the guitar ? I hope we learned from the past and do not propose that anymore. I do not like piezzo anymore... A pre-amp, external, is a must.

Just an FYI the Schatten Artist preamp can use phantom power or a 9v battery. Because I'm also not a fan of batteries I'm a happy camper with phantom power and no batteries inside.

Yes sir, I referenced the phantom option in my post
