ACM-3 or Shinybox 46?

[Booda]

I had been planning on buying a Shinybox 46 ribbon. With the group buy going on... I'm considering the ACM-3 instead.

Forget the difference in price... Which one do you think would be most usefull and more of a keeper? Rather than "Check out this Ribbon Mic I got super cheap".
I've read many good things and heard decent clips of the Shinybox.

with the price of those group buy mics, i wouldn't even consider the shinybox unless you come away unsatisfied with the $50 mic

Check out the design of the group buy mics and then compare to the brands we know here in the states. A lot of the mics are exactly the same short of the brand name. The LDC tube mic is $95 with the GB, $399 with a brand name.
