Here's another monkey wrench for ya, the current crop of Mexican 57's sound nothing like the classic American made Unidyne III models. Those older ones, if you can find a clean one, have much better top end clarity than the Mexican 57's.
The Mexican models sound nasel next to a clean Unidyne III model.

Question is: do you want to change a classic mic that's no longer made?
