Does it have to be a hand-held mic? Obviously for reinforcement, directionality is important, but I can't imagine you'll need to run it that hot for 50 people... What about placing a quality studio mic on a stand- for folk music, I've been digging the sound of ribbons lately- be it a Royer or a Beyer. If it does have to be handheld and very directional, check out the Beyer M500. The great thing about figure 8 is that while you have a back lobe to worry about, the nulls on the sides are great for isolating sound. With a well-eq'd system, it shouldn't be an issue to use it with a PA.
