Audix ADX40

[Whale Bone]

I'm wondering if anyone has any experience with the Audix ADX40 hanging choir mic (and others for comparison). I can find next to no reviews anywhere on it. I tried one recently and it seems pretty good, but it needs a lot of gain - the specs seem to agree with super low sensitivity of 5dB/pa. Now that I've heard it a little, I know it works ok but I have no frame of reference for hanging mics.

I guess my real question should be are there other $200-ish mics that are generally preferred?

Thanks.
