Yes I'm  serious.  The Shure mics are how shall we say it?  Bullet 
proof.  Before my SM 57 got intermittent it's all I ever used.  The only 
reason I don't use it now is there's a short in the head somewhere  and 
I've never bothered to send it back to Shure for a new cartridge.  Money 
more than anything else dictated the mic that replaced the 57.  I lucked 
into a good deal on a brand new used Shure Green Bullet.  It's not a 
crystal mic and it bounces around in my equipment milk crate without a 
whimper.  Like the 57 the range of sounds available is greater than the 
Astatics.  YesI know you've all heard a different story but it doesn't 
jibe with my experience.  So Hugh, in summary all I meant about go pound 
nails with  the Shure is that they're awesomely built and engineered 
microphones that take a licking and keep on ticking.  Night after night 
after night.  I'd gig with a 57 in a heartbeat and it was all I used for 
5 years.  FJM
