Wow! I really like that also. So, do you notice a big difference in sound quality in electric models versus pure acoustic? I could almost imagine a sense of overkill in amplifying the Uke.
Am I wrong?
The pick-up signal sounds not so direct and a bit more electronic. When I use my Rode mic it sounds more close and warm.
Before I try to explain the difference just listen to my tracks.
‘Harpulele’ and ‘Corporate Latin Ukulele’ are recorded with the line signal.
‘Happy Corporate Ukulele & Whistle’ and ‘Whistling Of Happiness’ are recorded with mic.
Sometimes it’s mixed with an acoustic guitar but you will here the difference anyway.
Next time I’ll buy new coin cells for the electronic and mix both signals. That’s more flexible and the best way to get a full ranged sound. Better to take out frequences than to not have them at all. 
I bought the UEW20 online for my father right before I became a AJ author. The customer ratings were excellent. I didn’t realise how important this instrument will be here. So the Uke is with me since than.
That means that I don’t know the difference to other pure acoustic Ukuleles.
The last time I hold an acoustic Uke in my hands is 44 years ago.
