I borrowed this mike a few weeks ago and used it on as much as everything (no not everything : ).
I think it's a very good one for a price less then a sm58?
One new mike on it's way.

That's a mono mic. Mooch told me so.

Less than £70 in the UK currently. Inta seems to have the best deal on 'em just now for any UK mic slingers interested. You can always do a $300 update to the body later if you felt inclined. They seem to have been universally welcomed by local broadcasters, podcasters, hospital radio stations and places that normally have the budget to spend a bit more than the cost of this, but they can be seen just about everywhere like that just now. These are the type of mics that become worth money to the collector market too in years to come because they are cheap enough to throw away and not worry about it which will make them scarce enough to those having fond sentiments about them when they are no longer readily available which drives the 'mythical' aspect bestowed on these things further down the line. Looking at the workaday mics that were around in my youth that were nothing special at the time and now fetch silly money I'd say this fits that bill perfectly. It will probably work well enough for anything that you want to close mic, a no-brainer for anyone on a tight budget that wants something that works.

I would confirm that with some of those professional engineers who used to hang out here but you'll have to do now. Fanks. Hey, engineers & conductors..... get it? But why bus and tracks. That don't make any cents.

He sat next to Mr. RAM at NAMM and Mr. RAM was his sound man. They had fun, Mr. RAM and and Mr. Anderton (see what I done there?)

Nope. Jose has been gone since the X series began, they'd compiled a big list of stuff needing fixing boiled down from user input to present to the devs and the launch of the X series didn't seem take enough of the research they'd put the effort into, into account and a few of them including Jose that were involved with that effort took it as the time to look elsewhere IIRC. Undertow still clocked in from time to time for a while after that though. There were lots of knowledgeable folks around at that time that aren't here now, no disrespect to CJ that you included on your short list there but there were many that would have been mentioned before he would have cropped up on your list back then.

Back in the 8.x days Jose was going to help me with a Tascam FW-1884 problem I was having (his friend had one).
I'm still waiting of his professional opinion/help.
True story.

I read Gearslutz sometimes and Undertow is very active there. Like you Bapu he never uses console view It would be nice to have some guys actually at the coalface who use Sonar and had some gravitas when putting suggestions toward Cakewalk. But like you say JonBouy- would they listen, look what happened to UT and JC

Still plenty of hugely talented producers and players around though.
Olpal, Frank, Timidi, spring to mind straight away, I could probably make a pretty long list if I sat and gave it some thought.

I see Jose and undertow around in the gearslutz forum. They don't know what they are doing there either .....plus undertow pissed off Bob Katz and Bob Katz got so mad at him he stopped going into gearslutz forum.
You kmow bob Katz ... Grammy award winner ... Mix master ... Wrote the book ... Literally
Yeah ... Those two guys Jose and undertow know more than Bob Katz ... So they claim
Yet don't see Grammys by undertow or Jose do you ?
True story ... I am sure you can still find Undertow threads on gearslutz some arguing with Bon Katz

Much of my confidence went when HCMG aka Marah Magg aka Marah went.
She really had her finger on the pulse, her predictions about what was to follow pretty much happened right on the money, she could formulate compelling points and was able to describe the workflow issues and bugs as she run into them clearly in words and pictures to the point her observations were impossible for anyone to refute.
How Cakewalk didn't offer her a job in QA and just let her walk away to another DAW I will never understand. A very switched on individual.
