ranjam, the PG57 does have a different element than the SM. i talked to Shure because i read that the PGs were just a cheaper made version of the SMs, but not so. the PGs are TOTALLY different mics.
not cheap made and totally different sound. for me i prefer the pg57 over the sm57 anyday. and the sm57 is a good mic, but for me, the sound i'm wanting comes from the pg57.
i've read that the PG 57s sound like they are under a blanket, i dont get this, maybe the style of music they are doing, i dont know, but for country music, clean playing. the PG57 is perfectly clear needing VERY little to no eq'ing to get the sound from your instrument.
since i've got mine, i've had 3 other people buy them, one for his guitar amp, the other two tried it out as vocal mics and bought them for vocal mics. i have to say, i bought mine for guitar amp, but the are not bad for vocals either depending on the singer.
i'm sure there are other great mics out there. but i will stand behind the PG57 100%. not sure about any of the other PG series, hadnt tried them.
