Any thoughts on CAD mics?

Anyone here using CAD mics? If so, any models and opinions would be welcome. In my hunt for mics, I learned there is a reseller of this company not far from where I am.

CAD has some good mics and they have some that are rebadged Chinese models. What are you looking at and what is your application?

I have several CAD mics. Two M177's, an M179, a GXL 2400, a Trion 7000 ribbon and four older American made CM17 small condensers. I think the M179 is the best "bang for the buck" mic available.

The e100 and e300 also get great reviews although I haven't tried them.

I use my M179 on just about everything, acoustic instruments, guitar amps, drum overheads, male and female vocals, etc. For a live sound gig, the mic works great in a three mic drum kit setup.
