In my opinion, you can produce a far more natural sound and variety of sounds buy simply using a good mic for acoustic instruments.
The only problem with that is you are stuck holding your position in front of a mic, whereas with a pickup, you can sway while you play, or cruise about the stage, jump up and down, plug into effects, etc. In a pinch, I have dropped a lapel mic into the sound hole and taped it over to control feedback. You'd be surprised how good it can sound after shaping it with some EQ.
Not to be a jack ass, but I understood, like, maybe 70 to 75% of what you just typed.
