A great deal on a fantastic mic

I chose this mic because I work for an AT dealer, and had heard that it was generally well regarded, but hadn't heard any definite descriptions of it in a studio capacity. So I took a chance, and I couldn't be more pleased with the quality of these mics, and with AT mics in general. The sound is crisp and detailed but not harsh. The nuances of acoustic guitars come out beautifully. As an overhead, this mic really shines. The drums sound full bodied and detailed, and the snare has never sounded better for me. Of course there are much better mics out there, but in this price range, I can't imagine it getting better than this. I'm getting some of the best drum sounds I've ever gotten, even in the fairly crappy basement recording space that I have to work with. The downside is that they don't sell them in matched pairs, but the two that I purchased match up very well. You can't go wrong with this one!!!
