Steve's got a good eye (and ear). This is a great mic for recording - just 
clip it on your shirt and after a little whilte, you've forgotten it's 
there. I've always had a difficult time recording where my attention is 
divided between playing and keeping a "relationship" with the mic staring at 
me <g>.
The fidelity on this thing is amazing, especially at this price.
One thing to remember with "lapel" or "tie-clip" mics is they have an 
exaggerated high frequency response - so at close range (or cupped) you need 
a true hi-freq roll-off or shelf on your gear, not just a 'Treble' knob.

Cheers,
