* I mostly play solo (and sing), so I'm not so concerned with cutting through the mix in a full band environment.
* I'm an emotional performer and can really hit the strings hard at times.
* I only finger pick about 10% of the time.
* Would like a system that also records well.
I've read some things here regarding the current (non-Duet) HiFi system that talk of distortion (bad) and/or compression (good?) with heavy strumming. Of course we don't know about the HiFi Duet yet, but I'm certainly wondering if the HiFi transducer part of the new system will have this characteristic, and if this might make it a less ideal choice for a heavy strummer.
The Furch has a Spruce Top and Rosewood Back/Sides. It doesn't seem to have the over-bright sound of a Taylor 814 that I had tried, but the wood combination makes for a bright guitar generally. It's Furch's Grand Auditorium Cutaway shape (very similar to the 814).
So I guess I'd like the opinion of any heavy strummers with Spruce/Rosewood Grand Auditorium guitars. If you have the current HiFi, what are your thoughts? Anyone have an alternate recommendation that fits my guitar and playing profile?
Oh, and I guess I'm a bit concerned about feedback as I've only ever used under saddle transducers live before. Do you think I'll need an external notch filter with this setup?
Thanks!

Our system has lower distortion than the high gain systems mostly available.
The harder you play the more difference that makes.
