1. Find out what you really want a microphone for.

2. Buy a microphone that is good for that application.

3. Stop worrying about what it looks like, unless looks are critical for

Amen to that, and I might add: if you need something, let the
experts--whose time you are requesting--what you need it for.

On the subject of #3, didn't they modify vintage mics for the 'Buddy

Wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Buddy_Holly_Story mentions
the live concert scenes, but nothing about the technology involved.
They do go into depth about numerous historical innacuracies in the
movie....
