No, you're right, but that foam-lined windscreen does have an audible effect on the sound of the mic, which Scott Dorsey explained nicely on r.a.p. a while back. In short, the 57 has a little more top-end clarity and a tighter pattern, both of which make it a more useful recording tool. As tINY said, the SM58 is pretty much a one-trick pony for stage vocals.
