But I think Mercenary have said they want a 84 that had continued to be developed rather than a clone.

Hey Jam!

if it (the 451) had a removable capsule, it was an older one. (they are less bright) If it was a "one piece" it was the newer B version.

I know Mercenary is "touting" the mic that way, but I think it's cause they couldn't match the real deal. Just my thoughts, but based on your shootout. Whenever a manufacturer can't get it right, they say that it's just like the old one - only better. Yeah, right. The 84 is a classic. Too bad you're not in LA, I'd loan you one of mine for the shootout! Thanks again,
