i put a baggs i beam in my om 21 about 4 years ago. it has the built in preamp and the only mod i had to do was enlarge the end pin hole slightly to fit the larger diameter of the preamp an d1/4 jack. the i beam itself is installed with a truss that fits through the pin slots in the bridge and a battery bag is velcro-ed to the neck block (nothing permanent). the pickup is double taped to the bottom of the bridge block... and you do have to find the sweet spot by moving it around a bit.
it, imho, sounds quite a bit better than the martin i have that came with a fishman blender. much more "acoustic sounding" than an under bridge saddle pickup. i think it more accurately captures the resonance of the over all soundboard.
imho.
