I've also heard Chessrock use them on some nylon string acoustic guitar tracks and they were GREAT (the reason I ended up getting myself a pair).

Hey Mac2. Interesting you bring that up. I had a client come in just last week, and it was the first time I've mic'ed a nylon string since that project you were just talking about. I wish you guys could hear some of these tracks. I just don't understand how such a cheap mic can do something so challenging as a nylon-string accoustic, and do it so well.

This has probably been discussed before, although I've been searching this forum I havent found what I've been looking for.

I'm considering buying a pair of small dia mics, and I've been looking at Audio Technica pro37 simply because "you can't go wrong with Audio Technica".
But since there are a great number of other brands that might give me a better "bang for the buck" (2-300€ for two) I thought you might help me out. My main use would be acoustic guitar and hihat.
Other brands would be:

MXL 603

Feilo SE1 OEM (ADK Cascade Joemeek etc) www.feilo-china.com/feilo_1m/products_entry11.htm

Line Audio Design CM2

Oktava MC-012 (if I could get a good deal)

Any other suggestion?

The Marshall Electronic MXL603S is an awesome acoustic guitar mic... and my favorite hi-hat mic is the Shure SM81.
