Piezo options for Les Paul

So I know of the Fishman PowerBridge, which is a drop in replacement for Les Pauls, as far as the bridge goes...

Who else makes a decent piezo bridge for Les Paul Standards?

I want this to be as painless as possible... no drilling or anything. I know I can replace the output jack with a stereo jack so I don't have to drill there for a seperate output, and if I set my guitar so that the piezo volume is where the treble tone control is, I don't have to drill there... and I could put in a push-pull pot for an on/off switch... but then I wont get a 'blend' option.. so maybe I'll have to control the volume as a 'blend' manually with the piezo always on unless the volume is turned down all the way.

The reason why I don't want to add a 3 way switch to the body is that I don't know if I'll keep it in this guitar, so I'd rather not do anything permanent.

Any suggestions?

Not a bad price... doesn't come in Nickel though... boo-urns.

I gotta figure out the best way to configure it once it's in there as well... hmm. This might take more thought.

Thanks though!
