many variables here.. type of microphone, room, amp etc... a compressor/limiter will squash the dynamics of the guitar to an even level so if you play soft or hard the dynamic's will remain much the same... also with this the natural tones of the instrument [ie treble and bass ] will be flattened to the midrange...ie less defined natural/acoustic frequencies may need a good eq to achieve a desirable tone.... not sure it is really needed unless playing large venues with larger ensembles ie percussion, bass etc.... worth trying but will produce a more 'electric' tone... as said by HemeolaMan all larger systems do have compression/limiters etc but for smaller systems like an amp [ ie Aer, AcousticImage ] seems a bit unnecessary...maybe put the money towards a small diaphram condensor., high gain mic...or/with a tube pre-amp [ which should have limiting/compression options.....what is your sound rig? think a good pre-amp will work better...more multifunctional....
