I am fortunate enough to have one of the old SO-40s, and it's very 
nice.  One of the nice things about the AKG system is (was) the ability 
to buy the pieces separately.  I have two receivers (one rack-mount and 
one stand-alone) and three transmitters (the SO XLR, the guitar bug, 
and a lavalier mic), all on the same frequency so I can mix and match 
my mics and amplification options.  I generally take a rack rig to gigs 
which uses the rack-mounted receiver, but have lately started carrying 
the standalone receiver and a tube preamp to run straight into the PA.
