Quick question on the Sm 57. I read and hear its good for recording instruments/amps.

I was checking ebay and I saw on one of the boxes of of the sm 57..and it say "SM57-LC". I couldn't find any infomation it. So is there really 2 models of the sm57, or Im I just crazy.

Also, does anyone have any sugestions for a condensor mic under the 200$ price limit.

Thanks for any advice

I have a Rode NT1-A...
When I was looking for a condensor mic I saw a couple of reviews from different sources that all praised the Rode NT1-A as being a great mic for about $200...
So I got it and like it, although I really havn't had many mics to compare it to. It definately beats the hell out of the Shure Sm58 for recording... at least with the setup I have... but how it sounds compared to a Neumann u87 (which it often compared to... I have heard it called a "poor man's Neumann" from a couple of different places) I have no idea.
