Thanks for listening, I appreciate your comments.

Yeah, I don't hear the modified V67g as a replacement for the 319, but rather as an upgrade for folks who own a V67, don't have an MK-319 but want classic FET / transformer-coupled sound.

The V67g is also a good mic for people who are in the market for a new LDC, have a very limited budget (it costs $100), want to avoid the overly-bright Chinese sound and also invest in a mic that can be improved down the road instead of tossed aside.

With the exception of the $180 MXL 2003 / 603 package (or a used Mk-219 / 319), I believe the V67g is a clearly superior alternative to most other LDC mics in its price class for these reasons.
