Lowering my expectations has succeeded beyond my wildest dreams.
Beyond that I can't really help, as I've removed them from my guitars and use passive Fishman USTs with an outboard preamp.

That doesn't help your undersaddle question of course, but Baggs do have a good name.
the control is really just a volume control whereas the Fishman Matrix Infinity I also have has volume and tone (ranges between middle-y and scooped) which I found quite useful in a “set and forget” kinda way.

Incredibly natural sound vs piezo/under saddle. Would not get anything else.

External mics are great. Internal ones just cause feedback problems and sound odd, because they're picking up a sound you never normally hear from outside the guitar.

I like the K&K - simple, unobtrusive, no batteries required

I’m another one weighing up an Anthem vs a USP/IR Box. I was excited by the new Hifi pickup but having listened to comparison reviews online the Anthem sounded better to my ear. Although I have to admit the unamplified sound of the anthem vs Hifi was far better for the less intrusive hifi .
I don't find a UST affects the acoustic sound - although it's possible some of the softer 'rubbery' type ones might. The Fishmans I use are very stiff and are basically the same as a solid shim.

Yes, the Aura is basically just a hardware IR box.

FWIW the only pickup I use and would fit in any acoustic is the Headway snake
The previous Shadow system was just vomit inducing so I'd never refit that ever.
The solution is the bare minimum pickup which produces a string signal, and *do all the rest with outboard modelling*.
Once you do that, and fit a simple passive piezo undersaddle transducer and an endpin jack, that's it - for ever. The guitar never needs to be altered again. The only thing you need to do after that is change the outboard modelling technology as it improves.
