LR Baggs Anthem SL Classical Pickup

Does anyone have any experience with this mic/pickup?

I've been thinking about having this put on my guitar and would like any feedback or experiences any of you may have had with it in regards to playing flamenco.

I installed this in my guitar over Christmas. I use it at dance class pretty regularly and am pretty happy with it. The dance studio has a PA so it's nice just to walk up and plug in rather then lugging a bunch of equipment around.
That said, it sounds and behaves great for a plug in system better then all I've heard in person and sometimes that's nice for my situation above or for gigs that are so loud microphones just aint working. But it'll never sound as nice as a properly mic'd guitar.
BUUUUUT
I heard recently that LR Baggs is supposed to release a nylon string version of the "Lyric" system that is supposed to kick the crap out of the Anthem. You may want to wait or email LR Baggs about that.........

Here's a video about the Lyric. Not really feeling it. Maybe my ears are just shot, but it doesn't sound much better than the old Fishman Problend to me. Would be nice if they used a player with a cleaner sound.
