Default New Shure mics vs. old

I have both an old Shure SM-57 and SM-58 left over from my college rock
band in the '70s. I never liked the sound of them on my voice (they
sound dull to me), but they do have the advantage of being practically
indestructible. I've heard them used by lots of other people and they
sound just fine for a stage mike. I've always assumed that those mics
just don't flatter my particular voice, though I've also heard that
they were finicky about what preamp they were used with, so maybe I
just didn't pair them well.

But then I read recently (on the Shure web site, I think) that they had
actually redesigned the mics a few times over the years (different
transformers, maybe?) and that new ones don't sound like the old ones.

Does anyone have more information about that? I'm wondering if it would
be practical or useful to "upgrade" them or buy new ones, or if it will
make any difference at all.
