Vocal mic recommendations, please.

I am looking for a vocal mic for our church. This mic will be used for special music vocal solos. My pastor's wife has a beautiful voice. I want to get a better mic for her. We have Shure SMl57 right now. Any mic recommendation under $200? Thanks for the help.

I've always like the Shure Beta 58A. I also like the Beta 87A. I think either would fall in your price range.

Hi ttchen...
Shure Beta 87a...best vocal mic for the money we've used. You must have phantom power (usually supplied by the board).

I see them on e-bay for around $180.00 periodically. I really watch the seller's e-bay rating.
