You can't tell diddly from an online video because of the audio compression. And that thread was where I saw people saying they preferred both of them. Tough call.

I don't have the Baggs. I do have the MiSi. I like the MiSi but will probably have a Baggs in my next uke for the simple reason that the MiSi preamp has far too wide a frequency response, having been intended for everything from double bass on up which means you need a lot of outboard EQ to clean up the piezo "thud" that tends to be more obvious on small instruments than on full range ones. (Both of my MiSis are the original ones, it is possible that the new one for ukes has better EQ, but I think all they did was shorten the piezo wire.)
Anyway, I've had Baggs stuff on guitars before and loved it so the next uke will have Baggs unless something even better comes along mean time.
Actually, what I'd really like is a hybrid system with a Baggs 5.0 and a good soundboard transducer...
Yeah...I prefer soundboard pickups, but live they can be a bit of a pain...I tend to move about a lot and that makes noise a problem...that's why I'd like to have a hybrid system with a stereo jack - UST on one channel, soundboard xducer on the other, and blend them pretty easily with a simple "mixer" plug when desired.
I've never heard the MISI but I did put the Baggs 5.0 in my HF-3 and like it well enough that if I amplify another of my ukes I'll get the Baggs again.
