Yeah, but how loud are the venues that you're running sound at. If you're running through a mackie onyx, my guess is that you're under 300 capacity. At low levels and at smaller venues, they're manageable. I still don't like the way they sound though. But when you've got SPL's over 100dB on stage and the band isn't on in-ears, they're a nightmare.
Take those kind of sound levels and pair it with a quiet singer, and you've got a recipe for frustration! Because of their supercardioid pattern, there have been times where I get more drumkit and guitars coming through a Beta than vocals if the singer is quiet.
