Double Bass anyone familiar with the Zadow pickup?

Until now I used the Realist. The sound isn't that good but what do you expect when you wanna cope with someone who is hitting the drums.

The Schertler seem to sound a lot better. At least this is what I get out of this forum. For me the Stat-B would be an option because it's less prown to feedback-problems.

But then I saw the Zadow.

Anyone familiar with this one?
 
The most acoustic sound will always cause lots of feedback. These sensitive systems are only suitable in studio recording situations. This is not what I'm looking for, because in a good studio they have good microphones and you don't need anything else.
I'm looking for a usable pickup in a live situation. Sometimes on low volumes which probably will allow a more acoustic sound. And on other times the really loud gigs next to a heavy-weight drummer where I will need the 1000 watts to be heard. :eek:
