Ehrlund contact PU or DPA4099?

Has anyone tested this two units? Wich is better in your opinion for amplifying the db gut stringed in a small/medium room through the ampli (since in large stage and with PA I like a microphone face of the bass)?

I haven't seen a follow up post from oystein yet, but at the end of August he wrote:

I have now received my Ehrlund pickup. All that have been said by other users are true. This is the most mic-sounding pickup I have heard. Not as feedback-resistant as the Full Circle but far better than a mike. The upper register sounds beatiful.
The preamp is a must, the best result so far is the preamp direct into the effect return of my Acoustic Image Focus. Very transparent with Ehrlund preamp, a little bit less into the Fishman Platinum Pro Bass preamp. Tone can easily be adjusted with placement of the pickup.
I have also tried it on my Martin D-18 and a Flatiron Mandolin. Works like a charm. I have never heard a mandolin chop sound that natural with a pickup, not by far.

Enjoy

BTW, I also received the DPA 4099B today, but have caught the flu and will test and compare another day....
