K&K Pure Mini vs. JourneyTek EP001K | Acoustic Pickup Shootout

The K&K Pure Mini is probably the most popular body tranduction acoustic pickup on the market. It has three piezo elements that attach to the underside of the top of your guitar and although a very simple product (you could make your own version of this for less than $1, gets a much better sound than an undersaddle piezo pickup. The JourneyTek EP001K ($50) is a more affordable option to the Pure Mini ($100) and so today I thought I'd do a shootout between the two. Let me know which one sounds better to you!

*Please know that months ago, the JourneyTek pickup was sent to me by the company to demonstrate. They didn't pay me and I don't have any reason to recommend it over the K&K. I thought a simple comparison video would be helpful to the community.
