Audix i5 vs Sennheiser e609

Ok...so I'm looking to expand (once again) my studios dynamic mic's...right now I'm recording only with Shure sm57's as my dynamic mics. I'm looking for I mic mainly for recording some guitar cabinets but it would be a plus if it could record some drum tracks/ other stuff...
both of the mics cost the same (100$) any one had some exprince with one or both of them?
what do u say?

The SM57 (vs. Sennheiser e609)

The sm58 works great on guitar cabs:
That's what me and my brother were told, but our recordings keep telling us otherwise. we've been debating getting the e609, but does anyone know if the sm57 sounds very good for guitar cabinets (heavy metal). because we need a snare mic too. should we just get both?
any input will be appreciated, thanks

e609 and the e609 silver - what's the difference?

I recently worked with a band that brought their own e609 silver. I used it on guitar (though I'm usually just a 57 guy) and it sounded great! So I looked into purchasing one for my studio and noticed there is obviously a 609 and a 609 silver. Does anyone know the difference? Sub-question---- What sounds better?
