ok so here is the question what is the real difference in the Beat SM 57s and 58s and the regular SM 57s and 58s and is the extra money worth the betas?

ive owned a beta 58. for one thing it is about 70$ more expensive than a normal 58. and the sound was fatter. sounded better in my opinion.

i've also had my eye on Rode's NT3 condenser. It's uses phantom power OR batteries! Man that would fix my minidisc portabilty woes. Twice the price but twice as nice.

Also there's a pair of Rode NT5's at Musician's Friend for $299, also condensers, but not battery powered.

Anybody have any suggestions for recording instruments in stereo on a budget?? -j
