Pickup in a Taylor Baby (or similar)

I'm looking to put an inexpensive pickup in my Taylor Baby. I have yet to find a soundhole pickup that fits the smaller hole on the Baby.

Has anyone put an under-saddle pickup on a small guitar? I'm not looking for anything super fancy, but I'm guessing that since most pickups are designed for a full size guitar that they might sound different in the small body. Just wondering if anyone has had some real-world experience as to what types/brands/models have sounded good (or not).

Thanks.

I've used a Big Baby that had an Ibeam in it that sounded fantastic. The bassiness of the pickup was really offset by the small body and brightness of the guitar. I'm guessing the K&K mini western would be great in it as well. And they both fit right under the bridgeplate.
