Cascade C77 Ribbon Mike vs Fathead vs?

I've been looking at a Cascade C77 ribbon mike.....never heard anything by Cascade but I know the Fathead has gotten good reviews....I have a Nady Ribbon (which was good for the $) that I'm putting up on Ebay and I need something a little better without having to spend the $ on a Royer. Any thoughts?

    I can't speak to any ribbon except for the Cascade Fathead that I own.  But micing a single 10" guitar cabinet, I'm very happy with it.  If I had a Royer I'd be willing to guess that I'd be happier with that.

    I wouldn't mind having a couple of the modded Fatheads to use as a pair as well as a mic to use alongside a dynamic mic on my electric guitar cabinets.
