Shure PG 52 or AT Pro 25

[TamaSabian]

I found the PG 52 at a brand new store here in Lima, $120. Musiciansfriend price: $119. Good price I think. The question is:

Which one is better??.

Reading the specs, they are different it seems that the ATM25 is better than PRO25. So.....nobody could answer my question??? Should I go for PRO25 or SHURE PG52??

i haven't heard the pg52, but i'm hesitant to by shure products and especially cheap shure products. it seems to me that you have to pay a lot to get anything of quality form shure.........whereas with Audio Technica it seems that their cheap stuff is better than shure.

i think buying a shure microphone is a lot like buying a pair of pants from the gap.........they're popular, but a pair of wranglers or levis are as high of quality or higher..........

your paying for the name

that's my opinion

Pro25 sounds pretty nice on tight/dry kicks and bass amps.
