Reiner,
That is a very interesting subject for discussion. It appears that
Chinese microphones are upsetting the established order. Whatever they are,
they are not throwaways, except for the very cheapest. In comparisons
between Neumanns and MXL's, or Studio Projects, differences are noted, but
not necessarily killing differences. Nevertheless, I appreciate your
mention, because MBHO is not well distributed here, so I was completely
unaware of them. The MBNM-622 looks interesting. Do you have any experience
with it?

Don't buy cheap microphones, half a year later you will throw them away
and buy better ones. So it's wise to plan your budget accordingly. And
if you do so, you can now buy someting better.
Why don't you try the MBHO 410CL ? List price is somewhere in the 300$
range but you will have excellent quality for your money.

my limited budget (much of which has gone to the Apogee Mini-Me) prevents
exploration of the "really really good but expensive" category.

Since this is to be for distance miking, air absorption at high
frequencies
becomes an issue.

It's not air absorbtion, you are moving into the diffuse field. You need
diffuse field equalized microphones (but you can do that also with an
equalizer)
