I like the focused sound of a close miked hi hat for some songs. For this
reason I need a flat response cardroid microphone like the ones I'm talking
about. But which to go for?!

How about the $35 omni from Behringer? It's a little harsh and an awful
lot noisy, but you don't care about either one for the application. And if
you use an omni, you'll have less of a problem with the tone changing as
the cymbal moves closer and farther away.

You can also try the Zildijan cymbal miking system. Is that still made?
It was really great for miking cymbals for PA applications in big stadiums
where the things really needed to be in the PA.
