The Shinybox, and any other Chinese ribbon I've heard so far, is in nowhere near the same class as the C&Ts. IMO.
I heard the newest, the Recordist, at AES. It's a great sounding mic. And the Naked Eye, which I heard for the first time at AES, really impressed me. This from someone with 15 ribbons in my collection.
Skip the Chinese ribbons, which are good introductions but not fabulous tools, and go straight for a tool that you can own and enjoy the rest of your life.
