i'm looking at mics now, and i'm really overwhelmed with all the mics out there. there are so many mics, and so many conflicting opinions. kinda sucks.... ideally, i could go to a store, try out a mic for a few days, and take it back and try another until i find the one. unfortunately, i don't have that time. i have a month to buy the gear and record. i have a lot of possibilities in terms of mics, but only a few decisions made so far. i'm still stuck on:

-overheads for the drums (cardiod or hypercardiod?)
-a condenser pair for the piano (have looked at karma audio k-micros, various mxl's, studio projects, audix, akg)
-condensers for the flutes (ideally, i'd get a 414, but don't have the funds)
-a cello mic

bah. this is a little frustrating. i've looked for days and days, read many reviews, talked to a few engineers in person, over the phone, and through email (none of which were helpful, btw). is finding a consensus on good mics always this hard? i guess normally people get to hear them more than i can. again, i don't have the time :-(
