There's much more DIY support for the $189, 9-pattern Apex 460 than there is for the $199 cardioid-only MXL 9000. And the stock transformer is not a significant issue in either of these mics. The mismatch between the K67-type capsule with its intentional 8kHz peak and the flat (non-deemphasized) response circuit is the primary issue.
