foam or screen filter -- & where ??

[expatCanuck]

Greetings.

I need a pop filter (or two). Two questions.

1) Are there significant sonic differences between foam & screen?

2) If not, I'm inclined towards foam. But prices for the name brand filters are simply outrageous. Can anyone suggest where I might find a reasonable source for filters that might fit

i) an AT2020
ii) an SM57​

or, failing that, a source for the appropriate type of foam that I might cut into the right shape?

Thanks kindly.

Metal may tweak the high end a little, while foam will soak up the high frequencies a bit. Metal generally does less damage to the sound, IMHO.
