Fishman Neo-D Passive Soundhole Pickup -- Need Help!

Hi everyone, I need a pickup for my inexpensive dreadnought (Art & Lutherie). Just wondering if you have ever tried on Fishman Neo-D Passive Soundhole Pickup (Humbucker). Can you share your opinion on that please?

Thanks!!

i still have one here somewhere... i replaced it with a K&K that sounds much more natural and it's about the same price. however, the fishman really didn't sound bad, i guess the best way i can describe it is that it doesn't sound complete as if it doesn't tell the whole story. i think it would be a good choice with something else like an internal mic or a sbt.

The soundhole Fishman is not only a little bit cheaper than K&K in here, but also not need to pay for the installation fees which costs about $60.
In my case, I just don't want to spend much money on a pickup which I can almost get another Art & Lutherie with that amount of money.
