I sent the mic to my mod guy, who said he was unable to upgrade due to size descrepencies; however, he did note that the mic was an exact design of the royer 121 and was astounded as to how they could get away with it.
Considering that the basic design of the Royer 121 was done in the early 1960's in the form of the B&O BM3 ( http://www.beoworld.co.uk/microphones1.htm ), I don't think we really have much room to criticize the Chinese on this one.
