May give up my bullets...

Last night I tried a Shure SM57 that our drummer had in his mic kit.  I was
amazed at the sound I was able to get with it!  I have been using Astatic
crystal JT-30 mics before.  I could never turn my amp above 5 without
feedback, but with the SM57, I had it cranked to 10 with no feedback and was
actually able to keep up with the rest of the band without having to mic
into the PA.  I also found it easy to cup and hold.  Any one else had a
similar experience?  I had tried a Shure "green bullet" in the past but
didn't like the sound as much as the JT-30.  Now I may sell one of my JT-30s
to get a SM57.  Any one want to trade?  I have two mics that are both
customized with a volume pot and a 1/4" jack on the back.  One is in a
painted JT-30 case, the other in a case with a fin, with a JT30 element.
