The 545 is  my fav with the Bassman RI too. 
Concerning the hype pushing the price: 
I have one of those big Argonne crystal mics, known as "Big Walter mic", also 
known as Calrad and several other brands. But there is no real hype about 
this type of mic, so they go rather cheap. 
I don't like it that much, it sounds kinda hollow for me.
