I'm too broke now and have a fantastic DI/preamp, but I'm beginning to think I need a Fishman Aura DI system...

Does anybody have experience with the Fishman Aura (Blender or the new DI)?

How does it sound?
What are its flaws?

Can't help but I was wondering what you are using now.

Right now I run all of my piezo pickups through the L.R. Baggs Para Acoustic DI. this includes my resonator (w/ Fishman reso-pickup), acoustic (w/ Baggs pickup), and mandolin (with Fishman mando-pickup).

Its a great DI/Preamp, so I'm not extremely interested in the Aura, but it started me thinking and GAS'ing

I have a Fishman Aura Ellipse system installed in my 2007 Gibson True Vintage J185. I really like it. I use it primarily when playing live. I usually record the J185 using a Rode NT1A condenser mic and an SM57 on separate tracks. Sometimes I also use the pickup/Aura output onto a 3rd track. I have the Aura set to the SJ200 and blend it with the pickup's output to suit. The combination comes pretty close to duplicating the acoustic sound of the guitar-to my ears anyway.
