I don't think it's the type of pickup that determines the responsiveness, 
but rather the type of string.  Regular acoustic strings have a lower 
magnetic content, and aren't as agitated by the Ebow.  If you put a set 
of regular eletric guitar strings on your acoustic, it'd be as responsive 
as your electric.
