If you're buying a Chinese mic (which the peluso is save cpasule stretching and assembly), get a Sputnik. Much better, well rounded, useful LDC for less than half the price.
I'm curious was it real dark? I bought a used 2247 and when I got it it sounded sooooo rolled off. I called John Peluso and he had me send it to him, apparently there was an issue with the early ones. When I got mine back it was no longer real dark, just real huge, and it routinely beats out my U87 in a shootout. As I understand it the metalwork is chinese
