Good Combi with DP235
I bought both DP235 and DP234 to combine them as a dual source pickup for acoustic guitar. So, I'm going to review from a dual source pickups perspective.
Pros - convenience, practical, great sound.
The DP234 comes with the cable that can be connected directly to DP235 soundhole pickup. I find this feature convenient as you do not have to do much modification to the guitar. I am unsure if you could connect to other type of soundhole pickups, but if you can, it can be super convenient. It is a one-source output jack so, you should get a Y-cable Stero to dual mono cable to fully take advantage of this.
Cons - price, no preamp
The downside is both DiMarzio pickups can be pricey on a "package" perspective when compared to products such as K&K Trinity pickup system, which comes with a preamp. Unless you already have 2-channel preamp, DP235 & DP234 combo could be a little pricey - just because you have to source for another preamp.

Very good
Responds well to effects and reacts especially well to Fender acousctic amps and nickel strings. Great for that 90s Peter Buck (R.E.M.) arpeggio feel if that's what you're after. Wouldn't say it's the most natural sounding pickup out there, but you can't get everything out of one device, right? Easy mount, only wish it didn't protrude quite as much out of the soundhole, you'll touch the plastic occasionally when strummin the treble strings. 4/5
