Instead of Alphabetical, why not list them in order of most used to least used?

Hey, I took the liberty to make up a master list of all the mics so far in this thread with make, model and quantity. I did make it a new post at

http://recording.org/ftopict-42115.html

This thread was a GREAT idea, stickers!

I see you guys have a lot of mics I would love to try.
Very Happy

Here's my list:

Dynamic:
2xShure SM57
2xAudix I5
1xSennheiser e609
1xAKG D112

Condenser:
1xAKG C414B-ULS
1xAudio Technica AT4050
2xAudio Technica AT4040
1xKel Audio HM1
2xRode NT5(Stereo Pair)

Next Mic Purchases:
1xM Audio Sputnik (I should have this by the end of the month and i'm excited to try it out. None of the mics I have really excel at the vocalists i've been working with and this has received some great reviews. I can also get it for quite a bit cheaper than street price so it's even more attractive to me.)
2xSterling Audio ST44 (Potential rock/jazz drum OH)
1xShure SM7B (Good choice for rock vocals?)
1-3xSennheiser MD421II (Does anyone here know if there's a distinct sound difference between the original and the MKII U4?)

1 Royer SF-12
3 Shure KSM 137/SL
1 Shure KSM 44
2 Avenson STO-2

Classical, choral and piano recording - hence, the makeup of the cabinet.
