Have you considered compromising and getting an acoustic that has pick-ups?
I have an electric and acoustic, but the acoustic can be connected to an amp.
I bought it so I could practice without amplification at home and still hear it just like a regular acoustic but have the option to increase the output.
I love this guitar but there are cheaper options of course:-
