I'll buy another one if this one breaks. I love the sound.
Sound
sound quality on this Mic is amazing. I use it to record accoustic guitar including a 12 string and it does a great Job. The bass response is better than most other mics in this range.
Features
This should come with a shock mount just like the marshal. Apart from that its rich in features. The Figure 8 pattern is sometimes very useful.
Quality
I use it pretty much every weekend for the past one year, and its working fine. The construction is solid.
Value
This product was the best value for money when I got it. It was a little expensive because I had to buy the Shock mount seperately for $39.00.
Manufacturer Support
Never had to deal with them
