The Burson has a 6db gain, although it isn't obvious from the literature. It also has no volume control, so you would continue to use the Lightspeed LDR.
It's called out here:

And also implied by looking at the specs for maximum input voltage and maximum output voltage. Somehow it got more out than in, so it has to add it in between.
It is different than the Dodd Buffer Preamp which has no gain, does buffer, and has a volume control.
