Spending only $199 for the MXL 4000 is a whole different thing. It gives me a great sounding mic to add to my mic locker at a very reasonable price.

Martin M. I completely understand budget constraints, I think you got a great deal, and I was not trying to convince you otherwise. As I said my post was directed specifically at jim1960 (which is why I quoted his post) because he had expressed interest in purchasing the Flea 47 which is in a similar price category as the Cathedral Pipes I mentioned, both slightly less the Neumann 147 and all three being more modern approaches to U47 type design with some variations between them . That is all.... there is no debate
