Help with Overheads

I have a sh*tty little room to record drums in. Thus, My overheads sound like drums in my sh*tty little room. Very cardboard box like. I have started using a pair of dbx 160x's on them. The attack that the comps help me get is a great improvment, however they still sound like cardboard.
Should I roll all the lows off and just go for crisp and thin?

1178 vs 1176?

I've seen a couple of silver 1178's for sale on Ebay, usually described as a stereo version of an 1176. Sounded pretty intriguing, except that recently on one of these forums someone (sorry, can't remember who, but I think it was someone heavy) said that the 1178 in no way sounds anything like an 1176. The implication was clearly that it was an inferior beast.
