Fender Power Jazz Bass

Hello everybody, i currently own a 2006 MiM Deluxe Active J-Bass V and have been offered with a 2006 MiM Power J-Bass, it seems like the only difference is the fishman pickups, other than 5-string factor, i was getting used to 5 strings but this guitar seemed a bit different,you know with the 3 pickups, what do you think of this guitar, should it be yes or no? I couldn't find clear demos of those pick-ups so i would be glad i you'd share your experiences. Thank you for your responses.

The Power Jazz has a Fishman piezo bridge. I thought the piezo was a nice addition to the s/c mags. Mine packed a nice whallop with the piezo blended in.

I don't think Fender made very many of them, I rarely see one on ebay.
