Mojave Audio
I would have to disagree with this pretty heartily. I have 2 MA-200's here and 1 2247LE. They are COMPLETELY different beasts. The MA-200's are brighter and the character is totally different. I love both mics... but very, very different. jmtc...

Oh yeah... and that 2nd post... I most definitely have to say +1 on the moron status of that guy. Unbelieveable post.

My 2247Le was used in a shootout over at blackbird against some of their best U47's not long ago and the guys checking it out picked it blindly on multiple vocalists over the original and extremely well kept U47's. 2 of those guys bought one the next day. I think is the best U47-ish mic for twice it's price.

jmtc.... of course.
