The "-U" in the 441 designates the bass roll of and an XLR connector.
The "-5" designates a 441 without the bass roll-off and a Tushel (four pin screw on) connector.
There is one other model, but I'm at work and don't have the manual. I think it's a -2.
I don't know anything about a "re-issue" 441, but the MD-421 II is supposed to be a new one.
And really, I'm not at all biased.

Jim Williams has told me recently that his favorite large diaphram
dynamic microphone for vocals was the RE20, generally speaking.
For all around use, however, IMHO you'd be best off with the
Sennheiser 421 or 421 MKII.
The newer MKII is brighter than the previous models BTW,
not necessarily a "better/worse" thing, just slightly different.
If you enter "True Love" in the search field at www.prorec.com
you can read an interesting article on ALL these microphones,
other than the 441.

I'll throw in more confusion by suggesting the Beyer M-88 is worthy of consideration, and pretty cheap these days. A classic on kick, good on bass, very good on electric guitar, great on some vocals, but I wouldn't suggest it for horns. You can often get new ones for under $200 on ebay.
The Stedman N-90 I'd rate as interesting. Pretty similar to an RE-20 but without the Variable-D design, so the proximity effect is there where it is lacking on the RE-20. IMO, not worth it new, but people off them for $150 often, and at that price it's an okay buy. More a "filling out the closet" sort of mic, and not something I'd prioritize. I'm still not selling mine, though.
Also, some but not all of the standard kick mics are large diaphragms. Not as versatile as any of the suckers we've been chatting at, but often good at bass amps as well.
Still, of the bunch, I'd tag the MD-421 (old or new) as probably the most versatile pick.

Damn, I forgot to suggest the RE-27N/D, basically a brighter version of the 20 with maybe a bit more flexibility in switchable eq. It isn't a classic, but it's still a youngin', so that could change.
